Mercy Foundation Receives Federlein Family Fund Grant on Behalf of Mercy Hospice

Mercy Foundation has recently received a generous gift from the Federlein Family Fund, through the San Francisco Foundation, in the amount of $5,000 for hospice care. The grant was given in memory of Arlene Federlein and will be used to support Mercy's hospice programs.

Mercy Hospice offers comfort, dignity and quality care to individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. The focus of hospice care is not to cure disease but rather to keep pain and other symptoms controlled. Mercy Hospice offers many specialized services designed to improve the quality of life for our patients.

For more information about this grant or Mercy's hospice services, please contact Kathleen Nickel, director of Communications, 541-677-2423.
