In 2007 a group of passionate Hospice of Michigan volunteers embarked on an effort to change the way people think about end-of-life care. Led by Cecile Fehsenfeld and Rich MacKeigan of the Hospice of Michigan Foundation Board, the group hired a Michigan filmmaker named Matthew Burnell. The result is Except for Six, an extraordinary window into the lives of three hospice patients and their families.

This film has been aired on Detroit Public Television, WGVU and other PBS stations across the state of Michigan, and is being distributed to other Hospice organizations across the country to further advance the Hospice movement.

All proceeds are donated to Hospice of Michigan.
