CODY — The Cody Regional Health Foundation has awarded $45,000 to Spirit Mountain Hospice House at Cody Regional Health to refresh and replace landscaping at its location, with an aim to enhance the peaceful setting for patients and their families.
“Spirit Mountain Hospice House strives to provide not only exceptional patient care, but also a welcoming and comfortable environment. Our current landscaping has been in place for quite some time and, due to plant life expectations, wind, soil erosion and other environmental factors, is due for updating,” said Elizabeth Poeverlein, director of Hospice and Home Care at Cody Regional Health.
“Because of donor support for this important regional resource, we can happily award funding for this project,” said Heather Stambaugh, foundation director. “This update will support the tranquil and comforting environment patients and families desire and expect at the Spirit Mountain Hospice House.”
With strong backing from donors across the region, the Cody Regional Health Foundation originally supported the opening of Spirit Mountain Hospice House in 2011.
“We are proud to support the necessary improvements and upkeep that help maintain the quality and atmosphere of this space for years to come,” said Kelly Jensen, Cody Regional Health Foundation board chair.
“Spirit Mountain Hospice House is the only inpatient hospice service in the Big Horn Basin area, and we take great effort to meet that responsibility by offering comprehensive care services to ease this time for patients and their loved ones,” said Hannah McRae, Cody Regional Health CEO.
Cody Regional Health Hospice has served the Big Horn Basin since 1994, providing in-home care and inpatient comfort care to patients and families facing end-of-life issues. When curative measures are no longer an option, hospice provides physical, emotional and spiritual support focused on comfort, dignity and quality of life.
