Red Carpet Salute Celebrates 40 Years of Hospice in the Pines
The Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce was proud to celebrate a meaningful milestone with a Red Carpet Salute honoring Hospice in the Pines and their 40 years of service to our community.
For four decades, Hospice in the Pines has provided compassionate, end-of-life care to individuals and families across East Texas. Their team has walked alongside countless families during some of life’s most difficult moments, offering comfort, dignity, and support when it matters most.
This celebration recognized not only the longevity of the organization but also the lasting impact they have made in Angelina County and beyond. From their dedicated staff and volunteers to the families they have served, Hospice in the Pines represents the heart of what it means to care for a community.
During the Red Carpet Salute, attendees had the opportunity to reflect on the organization’s history, hear stories of impact, and celebrate the people who have made 40 years of service possible.
We are grateful for the role Hospice in the Pines plays in strengthening our community and for its unwavering commitment to compassionate care.
Join us in congratulating Hospice in the Pines on this incredible milestone and thanking them for 40 years of service, support, and heart.
