End of life care is a difficult subject to discuss, but it鈥檚 a crucial service which affects many people.
Aldergrove Financial Group has pledged $50,000 to help develop a new family-oriented facility in Abbotsford.
鈥淭his facility is vital to the community and will house the existing society, and a hospice residence for adults suffering from a terminal illness,鈥 said Aldergrove Credit Union CEO Gus K Hartl.
鈥淎s an organization, we are so proud and honoured to play a part in the building of this facility 鈥 we know the positive impact it will have on the community and how much it will help those who need it.鈥
The capital campaign to build a new hospice was launched 18 months ago.
The goal is to create a two-storey residence, which will be named Holmberg House, designed to provide holistic patient care in a non-institutional setting.
