Malloy Honored At a reception at its new Center for Comfort Care & Healing, Regional Hospice and Home Care honored Governor Malloy for his advocacy and support of the new facility and its mission. His concern for grieving families following the Sandy Hook tragedy in 2012 led to more comprehensive bereavement services in the new facility recently opened in Danbury, CT. To this day, the Healing Hearts Center team continues to support the Newtown community and their family members from throughout the region. "On behalf of thousands of children and families we have the privilege to care for, we thank him for recognizing the needs of dying patients and the community members who are grieving the loss of loved ones," said Regional Hospice President & CEO Cynthia Emiry Roy.
