2023 Women Swimmin' for Hospicare

Women Swimmin' for Hospicare is a community event that raises money for Hospicare & Palliative Care Services.

This will be my 4th year swimming across the lake to support Hospicare.  My reasons for taking part in Women Swimmin' are many - I love being a part of the community  of women coming together on the special morning; swimming makes me very happy; and I really value what Hospicare does in our community.  

I have worked as a hospice nurse and volunteer and have seen first hand how vital this organization is to keeping patients comfortable and cared for in their final days, as well as supporting their caregivers.  I currently work as an Oncology nurse and know how anxious patients and loved ones can be when they are facing end of life care.  Being able to share that we have a wonderful program in our community, and all of the ways in which Hospicare works to support patients and families, makes my job much easier and my heart lighter.

Hospicare is a valuable resource and I am proud to be able to keep it strong!
