They are building a branded online community and social media hub on their website (smart move) and connecting it to various outposts such as Facebook, Digg, Twitter, and StumbleUpon. They also use video pretty effectively to promote their services through interviews of actual clients/patients. Here's a screen shot of their community page:
I'll be reaching out to The Community Hospice to see if they're interested in being interviewed. Hospice organizations around the country could learn a thing or two about what they are doing to build community on the Web.
