We had such a great visit with Jade and Alana, hospice nurses with Avera at Home of Spencer Hospital.

They took some time to share what hospice care is really about — focusing on comfort, support, and quality of life for both patients and families.

They do a great job of providing care and compassion to families in our community.

If you’d like to talk with someone from Avera at Home of Spencer Hospital, you can give them a call at 712-264-6380.
