The interfaith memorial
service will remember those who have been served by the Hospice Care
of Illinois throughout the past year. As the name of each deceased
patient is read aloud by hospice staff, friends and family members
are encouraged to come forward and light a candle in their loved
ones’ name.
Others are welcome to
attend to remember friends and family members who have passed at any
time from any cause.
A reception will follow
the service to give families time to visit with hospice staff and
each other. Hospice Care of
Illinois remembrance services are conducted every four months and
rotate between churches in Lincoln, Chatham and Jacksonville.
Hospice Care of Illinois is a partnership between the Visiting Nurse
Association and Memorial Health System. It is a licensed,
Medicare-certified program that provides comprehensive care in the
home setting for terminally ill patients and their loved ones.

Coordinator, at 217-757-7677
