History
The creation of Hospice Foundation of Greater Baton Rouge was the vision of founders Don Berlin, Dr. David Kahn, and Dr. David Lion. Mr. Berlin and Dr. Lion both suffered from terminal cancer. Wishing to pass-away at their homes, Mr. Berlin's and Dr. Lion's oncologist, Dr. Kahn, sought for the inception of Hospice Foundation of Greater Baton Rouge in 1984. Once the Foundation came into being, they hired a small staff consisting of a nurse and a social worker in order to commence providing for direct patient care.
In 1988, Hospice Foundation of Greater Baton Rouge became listed as a United Way agency and in 1991 renamed itself to its present-day, shorter business name of The Hospice of Baton Rouge.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
