Nancy Hinds, founder of Hinds Hospice, was called to serve. Born Nancy Bochin in Akron Ohio, Nancy was aware from early childhood that she wanted to become a nurse and care for people. Finding her purpose early in life has allowed Nancy to spend her life fulfilling her dream of serving others.
Nancy studied nursing at St. John’s College in Cleveland, Ohio. It was there that she became interested in missionary work. “I knew I had a burning desire and when I heard about missionary work, I realized this is what I needed to do,” Nancy says. After graduation she worked for more than a year at Cleveland Clinic Hospital in the intensive care unit, saving enough money to pay for her first mission to the West Indies. Thus, at the age of 23, Nancy Hinds began her journey as a missionary nurse.
Nancy’s first hospice home on Simpson, in Fresno, had a four patient capacity. Open from 1981 until 1985, the home served 72 patients as well as their families.
In 1987 the second Hinds Hospice home was opened. Today Nancy Hinds has grown Hinds Hospice to include outpatient care in the three central California counties of Fresno (1991), Madera (1994), and Merced (1995). Nancy’s own father, Hal Bochin, was the first outpatient of Hinds Hospice of Fresno. Hinds Hospice has also grown to offer a Pediatric Hospice Program to support families with terminally ill children and the training of staff at Children’s Hospital of Central California.
The challenges of caregiving for a loved one while working is one many women are facing today. Join us in February when Nancy Hinds shares insight and guidance into successfully navigating this journey.
