Details: Having experienced the wonderful care provided by the Hospice House staff and knowing that not everyone has health insurance or resources to pay for services, a local family established the Hospice House 5K & Remembrance Walk in 2009. Their wish is that care be available to all who need it, and by eliminating the worry of how it would be paid for, patients can live their final days focusing on what is truly important.
The Hospice House 5k & Remembrance Walk provides an opportunity for family members and friends to participate together in a fun, healthy activity, honor the memory of a loved one and raise needed funds to support patient care and family support services at the Hospice House. Each year the event has grown, attracting more participants and raising more money for the Hospice House.
