After five years of careful planning, Vernon Memorial Healthcare's Bland Bekkedal Center for Hospice Care at 705 Arena Drive is about to become a reality.  The VMH Foundation and Circle of Caring Campaign volunteers announce the "200 Women Who Care" campaign to raise the additional funds necessary to break ground for this important project. 

   Patients within a five county area who are in the final stages of life will be served by this new home-like facility for the terminally ill. The Bland Bekkedal Center for Hospice Care will not replace other forms of end of life care, but will enhance the services the VMH Hospice program is able to provide to our patients and their families as they reach this important stage of end of life care.
