The Shaaron Kent Education Program
At Hospice Palliative Care Mitigare
Hospice Palliative Care Mitigare is proud to memorialize Shaaron Kent whose generosity and deep affection for the people of San Miguel de Allende continue to inspire us all.
Shaaron visited Mexico frequently before finding her second home in the Balcones area of San Miguel in 1998. Her dream was to create a lasting legacy in this vibrant community, a dream that was tragically cut short when she lost her life in an accident at the age of 57 in May 2001.
To honor her memory and her heartfelt wishes, the Shaaron Kent Endowment Fund was established in 2012. This fund reflects Shaaron’s commitment to supporting education, hospice care, and the well-being of the people in San Miguel.
Thanks to a generous grant, the Shaaron Kent Education Program at Hospice Palliative Care Mitigare is able to provide vital training in end-of-life palliative care for medical professionals, caregivers, social workers, and community members.
In celebrating Shaaron’s life and her profound impact on those around her, we continue to carry forward her legacy of compassion and support for our community.
“Her born nature was to be generous and giving, especially when it involved helping people with less means.”
— Antonia Moler, daughter
