Pioneering Northwoods hospice organization celebrates milestones

WOODRUFF - On many days, Dr. Kate Hospice cares for more than 60 people in the Northwoods near the end of life. Three decades ago, there was no such option in the area.

This year marks 30 years since Dr. Kate Hospice started to bring people to a peaceful and comfortable end of life.

"When people are at the end of their life, they don't want to spend time in a hospital," said Ministry Home Care Director Ann Ovsak. "They want to be in homes surrounded by loved ones or, if they aren't comfortable being in their home, they want to be in a facility that's really supportive to them at the end of their life."
