This month we celebrated our Hospice House's 20th anniversary of serving the Twin Lakes Community.

Like the seasons, people's lives go through change and transformation. This is not always easy or of their choosing, but it is important to reflect that no matter how dark the storm clouds may be, the light that can shine on its periphery is a comfort and a source of hope.

We reflect on Hospice's old motto:
"Your light in time of need"

No matter what the future brings we will continue our mission of love and dedication and bring the light of hope to those in need.
