Last Thursday evening, the New Ulm Allina Hospice team gathered with the loved ones of patients who passed away over the past year for the annual Hospice Service of Remembrance. This meaningful event offers families a chance to honor and reflect on the lives of those they’ve lost.

This year, multiple departments at New Ulm Medical Center came together to transform the NUMC auditorium into a warm, comforting space—creating an environment where families could feel how deeply their loved ones matter to our care teams and to the community. They are truly grateful to everyone who helped make this evening possible.
