Members of FCPC will remember the Hogges - longtime members of our church - and Joan's care as a member of our pastoral staff. These pictures are of EDMARC in Portsmouth; the first pediatric hospice care organization in the United States and one the Hogges were instrumental in founding (named, in part, after their own beloved son Marcus). The Hogges went on to help us start the Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition; one of the great ministries of FCPC. PPCC has become a significant state-wide advocate even as it offers care and support for children and their families who require hospice and palliative care. What a wonderful impact Joan and Allen Hogge have had.
