Robot Tour for Regional Hospice Patient

Regional Hospice, in partnership with OATS (Older Adults Technology Services) and Finale Consulting, enabled Nancy Stevenson to experience the first-ever robotic tour of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City – all from the comfort of her hospice bed. Nancy is an artist and illustrator who had lived in the city before her progressing cancer led her to choose hospice care from the Center for Comfort Care & Healing.

When Stevenson, who has been sharing her hospice experience on her blog hopeandcourage.com, expressed her wish to view the Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection, Regional Hospice worked to make that dream a reality. The Whitney Museum, which features American artists through an eclectic array of collections, graciously accommodated the request on a day when the museum was closed to the public.

In anticipation of the event, Nancy emailed Regional Hospice staff to express her gratitude. “I’m looking forward to my personal tour of the Whitney Portrait Show – very exciting! It’s a miracle you could set this up and I feel I’ve won a Make a Wish moment.” Visit Regional Hospice's website for more details on the Groundbreaking Robotic Tour.
