South Georgian Bay Rotary Club makes a five year commitment to Hospice Georgian Triangle Capital Building Fund
Club President, John Saul, announced the club’s donation of $25,000 over five years will be only used to help in building a Hospice Palliative Care Residential Home.
He stated ” The Club’s recognition of the South Georgian Bay’s aging population, the need for an alternative to an overcrowded hospital and short staffing of palliative care nurses, makes this bricks and mortar local effort a must.”
The Hospice building will provide a place, for those who cannot stay at home, other than the hospital, where persons approaching end of life can spend their final days in comfort with compassion and dignity.
