Collaboration looks to fill void left by closure of Hiland Cottage Hospice
Harbor Light; by Harbor Light News Staff; 6/5/24
When McLaren Northern Michigan closed the Hiland Cottage Hospice House in March of this year, the future of trusted end-of-life residential care in this community became uncertain. In an effort to ensure this essential service is still provided, Bay Bluffs, the Emmet County Medical Care Facility, has stepped up to lead a collaborative effort to fill this void. “We are deeply committed to supporting our community through this transition,” said Lisa Ashley, Bay Bluffs administrator in announcing the partnership with Friends of Hiland Cottage, area hospice services, and other local end-of-life providers.
