An Information event is being held next week on a new Residential and Respite Hospice in Cavan.
The plans for the new 16-bed Consultant led hospice will be available to view in St. Christopher's Hospice Cavan next Tuesday from 11.00 am to 2.00pm.
The purpose of the planned event is to increase awareness among the communities of Cavan and Monaghan that construction is due to commence in January.
This significant development is being undertaken in partnership with the HSE and it will take cancer and Palliative care to new levels on an integrated basis in the region.
Our reporter Ronan Gargan has been speaking to the chairman of St. Christopher's Hospice, Jim Lawlor about the upcoming event at the Cavan Hospice.
