Red Deer Hospice Society receives $30,000 expansion grant from Servus Credit Union

RED DEER- The Red Deer Hospice Society is receiving a $30,000 grant from Servus Credit Union to support the expansion of their facility.

The money will help fund the 15,000 square foot expansion that will allow an additional 100 residents to access the facility each year.

“Servus Credit Union has always been a big supporter of Red Deer Hospice,” says Evelyn Storm, Executive Director of the Red Deer Hospice Society. “We are pleased that our partnership with this community-minded organization continues to grow, and we feel fortunate to receive their support.”

By increasing capacity at the hospice from ten to sixteen beds, it will allow more families to die with dignity, compassion and care.

The expansion will also create additional family lounges and quiet areas, two multipurpose rooms for community programing including respite and educational opportunities as well as staff areas for increased work efficiency and safety.
