Generous donations collected at the CHP Hospice dinner/auction in April are enabling the Noah’s Ark Fund at Van Wert Area Inpatient Hospice Center to purchase items to benefit hospice patients and families during their stay at the center.
Tisha Fast and Tonia Verville, members of the Noah’s Ark Fund committee, posed recently with some of the materials purchased through the fund. These include roll away beds, fans, video monitors, games, toys, bird feeders, and other things intended to make patients and visitors feel more at home.
The Noah’s Ark Fund was established in memory of Noah Martin, a 14-month-old child who received care at the hospice center shortly after it opened in 2009. Supported entirely through donations, its goal is to make available comfort measures not typically covered in hospice care.
Van Wert Area Inpatient Hospice Center provides personalized, around-the-clock care focused on comfort at the end-of-life.
