Celebrating Leslie
Sunday was the first annual Leslie Fest – a party celebrating the life and 61st birthday of Leslie Cochran, Austin’s beloved cross-dressing, homeless mayoral candidate. Leslie died on March 8 at Hospice Austin’s Christopher House.
Though certainly the most famous, Leslie is not the first homeless patient we’ve cared for. In fact, there’s been many. Our nurses, social workers, chaplains and CNAs have visited patients under bridges and at their camps.

Sometimes, like Leslie, they agree to go to Hospice Austin’s Christopher House.
