Summary

Beaver Island hospice volunteers who remained through winter 2003 maintained a contact network and support resources including care notes at the Medical Center, hospice materials at the library, a medical-equipment loan closet, and two new hospital beds. The report also noted wheelchairs at the airport and boat dock and donations supporting the program.

Evidence limits

The report lists a seasonal volunteer arrangement and resources, not a complete service roster or patient record.
