Center for Hospice Care and The Hospice Foundation Announce the Grand Opening of their New Mishawaka Campus
Mishawaka, IN (PRWEB) August 15, 2013 -- On Tuesday, August 20, The Hospice Foundation and Center for Hospice Care (CHC) are hosting an official ribbon cutting ceremony at the new CHC Mishawaka Campus. Don Schumacher, President and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, will be speaking at this event.
The official ribbon cutting ceremony is at 4:00 p.m. with a public open house immediately following until 5:30 p.m. All events take place at CHC Mishawaka Campus, 501 Comfort Place (along the river with access to parking off of Cedar Street).
CHC's new campus is on the northern banks of the St. Joseph River, nestled between Central Park and Cedar Street, with the physical address of 501 Comfort Place. The campus is scheduled to be completed in three phases. The first phase includes two buildings, which house administrative offices for CHC, the Life Transition Center (providing bereavement services to anyone who has lost a significant loved one) and Hospice Foundation offices. The buildings replaced office space previously leased at various locations in Mishawaka. Phase II will house CHC medical staff and a Hospice House and will be built as soon as funds are raised.
The new campus emerged through a public-private partnership between the Hospice Foundation and the City of Mishawaka; it was in the planning phases for more than three years.
