New hospice center is a blessing to county

Last week Brunswick Countians joined together to celebrate the ground breaking of a hospice care center right here in our community.

Lower Cape Fear Hospice & LifeCareCenter has earned a quality reputation for proving caring, compassionate end-of-life services for families from this county. Previously, residents had to travel beyond Brunswick to go to a care center. This new facility means this type of high-level care will now be offered right here at home.

A special thank-you goes out to local businessman Louie Lewis who had the foresight to donate private land for this wonderful cause.

We look forward to this project moving forward and will celebrate the day the new facility is open. Organizers and others who support this cause should be commended for their initiative to build a care center in Brunswick County. The community will benefit from its services for years to come.
