New partnership aims to expand hospice services in EUP [Michigan]
The Sault News; by Brendan Wiesner; 6/7/24 
A new partnership between local and state organizations will help support hospice services for the Sault community. Several months ago, the Chippewa County Health Department decided to close its home health and hospice division. The division committed to providing hospice services until the end of 2024 or until a new program was made available for the community. The closing of the division did not affect the hospice services at the Hospice of the EUP, but it would have limited access to hospice services that are set up in people's homes. The division also provided some support to Hospice of the EUP through clinical support.
Editor's Note: We posted a related article on 6/7/24, "Collaboration looks to fill void left by closure of Hiland Cottage Hospice." However, that article highlighted "Hiland Cottage Hospice" while this one focuses on "Hospice of the EUP."
