Sandy Johnson is the Executive Director of Hospice Saint John and tells CHSJ News, every year at the Regional Hospital, 400 patients with a paliative illness die but only two hundred of those spend their final days in the paliative unit.
Johnson says Hospice's financial commitment to the ten bed facility every year is $700,000. Renovations to the West-Side facility should be finished by next month with an opening expected in the fall.
