In June 2017, Monroe Clinic Hospice Home opened its doors to the community, introducing a new option for those in need of Hospice services with its warm hospitality, residential setting and 24/7 staffing. Since opening, more than 117 families have been served.
Building the Hospice Home was no small feat. It came from a vibrant network of generous hearts and minds that stretched across the region. This network is now honored on the newly installed donor wall, where there are individuals, families and businesses named who saw the value of the Hospice Home.
“I am so proud that this campaign has brought such value to our communities,” shared Jenny Duxstad, former Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation Board Member. “What wasn’t available when my father was dying is now available for families, giving them added support in a difficult time of transition. Death should be something that can happen with dignity and honor, and Monroe Clinic Hospice provides that.”
You can continue the legacy that these supporting donors created by donating to the Monroe Clinic Hospice Endowment Fund. When a donor gives a monetary gift to our Hospice Endowment Fund, those dollars are invested and earn interest that helps pay for continued support, programming and services. The generous donations from our community members continue to fulfill Monroe Clinic Hospice’s promise of compassionate end-of-life care.
