Hospice Remembrance Quilts
|
For many years, the staff of the hospice program of Mayo Clinic Health System - Home Health & Hospice wanted to do something special to remember the many patients who had been served through the hospice program.
After much deliberation and planning, the decision was made to remember our patients by stitching their names into a quilt. The quilt was to be called The Hospice Remembrance Quilt.
The hospice patients' names are stitched into the quilt chronologically, based on the date the patient received hospice care. The first remembrance quilt includes patients who were served from 1988 through December of 1993. Each year after, a new quilt has been stitched in remembrance of Mayo Clinic Health System - Home Health & Hospice hospice patients.
