Warmth and comfort added to Whitman Hospital

Friends of Hospice added a layer of comfort to Whitman Hospital's Reflection Room with the gift of an electric fireplace used previously at the Serenity House in Pullman.

Hospice President, the Rev. Bob Ingalls, explained his group was disappointed to close their end-of-life-residency last summer and they choose to continue their service of compassion to area families through this donation.

Foundation Coordinator Becky Dickerson accepted the fireplace on behalf of the hospital. "Just like Hospice takes good care of us, we will take good care of their donation," said Dickerson, who explained the Reflection Room provides a chapel like atmosphere for prayer and a safe place for grief support groups.

"We are grateful to work with Hospice and I am so pleased they thought of us."
