As many of you know, it has been a vision of Friends of Lewis County Hospice to build a Hospice Home in Lewis County. This past year we shared a survey to see what the public thought regarding this project - the results were overwhelmingly positive.

A small committee has been meeting this past summer and has made tremendous progress. They met with architects from Bernier & Carr to share our vision and to find out exactly what this would entail. FOLCH has now retained their services to draw up plans and construct a model. The committee is in the process of reviewing three possible locations, making a site visit to one. We would also entertain donated land, 3 – 5 acres, keeping in mind the need for public water and sewer.

The cost of the project will be enormous. Friends of Lewis County Hospice have been working and saving for many years and are prepared to contribute a large portion of the cost, but much more will be needed. The committee will be meeting with a grant writer and are hoping to begin a Capital Project soon.

Although it all seems overwhelming, we are very excited to begin this new project. We will continue to keep you updated and look for your continued support.
