Work on hospice center progresses

Construction on a new Homestead Inpatient Hospice Center adjacent to MedWest-Haywood hospital is progressing, with a new retaining wall, framework and roof trusses now in place.

The inpatient center will serve hospice patients whose families need a break from caregiving or need more help than families can offer.

The second phase of the project will eventually be the end-of-life outreach center, focusing on outpatient and community outreach programs. The hospital and new facility both serve the residents of Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
