Florida Hospital HospiceCare will host a dedication ceremony for the newly-installed memorial garden.
The garden will be created at the Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center.
It was funded by a generous bequest from the late Kate Sifton.
The community is invited to join Florida Hospital HospiceCare at 4 p.m. March 29 for the dedication of the newly-installed memorial garden at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center. Funded by a generous bequest from the late Kate Sifton, the garden will be named the “Chris Steadman Memorial Walkway.”
When Sifton died in 2012, her will requested this gift be made in memory of her friend and former Florida Hospital HospiceCare patient, Chris Steadman, in appreciation for the compassionate end-of-life care he received. This memorial brick garden will serve as a place for patient families and friends to create a lasting legacy for a loved one at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center.
The garden will be completed in phases, as funds become available from prospective donors. The first phase of installing the walkway with 3,000 bricks and landscaping has been completed.
For a donation of $250, a donor can engrave a brick in the walkway with three lines of text in memory or in honor of someone.
These funds will help support the foundation for Florida Hospital HospiceCare, the area’s only faith based, not-for-profit hospice organization accredited by The Joint Commission. To request an order form, call the Florida Hospital HospiceCare Foundation at 586-4440.
