Between acts, we will take a few moments to reflect on the mission of Arkansas Hospice, as we honor Arkansas Hospice Co-Founder Dee Brazil-Dale with the second annual Michael V. Aureli Compass Award. As an Arkansas Hospice co-founder and the first director of the Arkansas Hospice Foundation, Dee has been a constant compass for compassion for Arkansas Hospice, its patients and families during the nonprofit organization’s 31-year history. Dee will be recognized with a special video presentation at 4:30 p.m. during Party at the Plaza.
