What is Josephine’s Society?

Additionally, a planned gift may enable you to meet personal and financial goals in addition to providing Stillwater Hospice with important, long-term support.
Miss Josephine Shatzer was hired as our first paid nurse in 1900. With a salary of $10 per week, she made nursing visits via bicycle or by trolley in the rain and snow. Her patients loved her, and she was praised for her “thoroughness and compassion.” Josephine served in her role for 23 years, laying the groundwork for the care and guidance still being provided by our team today. We are proud to honor Josephine by naming this society after her and continuing her legacy of providing compassion, comfort and guidance through life’s journey.
