Lions Presented
Program on
New Hospice
Joan Adams and Rebecca
Ericson explained the new Hospice
program at Memorial Hospital to the
Seminole Lions Club at its Ladies
Day program Tuesday at noon at
Thelma’s One Stop. Lester Ericson
was program chairman.
The two, both Seminole natives
head the Hospice program, which is
licensed and was to accept its first
patient Thursday, July 31. Mrs.
Adams is program administrator,
supervising nurse and director of
nurses, while Mrs. Ericson is her
alternate. Both are the Memorial
Home Health Care program, which
Mrs. Adams heads, and Home
Health personnel will also
administer the Hospice program.
Mrs. Ericson defined “Hospice”
as "host,” “guest” or “a safe place
on a journey.” This is a perfect
description of the program, which
keeps people together in a difficult
time as they face death, a normal
part of life.
To be eligible for Hospice
services, a patient must be diagnosed
by a medical doctor as having a
condition which might lead to death
within six months. A wide range of
service are available, including
nursing, therapy, counseling and
bereavement.
“We specialize n palliative care,
which concentrates on symptoms
and controlling pain,” Mrs. Ericson
said. “Hospice is covered by
Medicare and by most private
insurance policies.”
Members of the Seminole
Ministerial Alliance provide
ministerial counseling, with Dan
Dale as the main minister and Derral
Evins as his backup. Volunteers are
also needed for a variety of
functions, including mowing lawns,
doing laundry, typing, sending cards
or counseling.
Hospice offirps are nt Memorial
Home Health south of the hospital,
and the 32 employees of home health
also staff Hospice. Patients can easily
be transferred from one service to
the other, keeping the same
caregivers. Interested persons can
volunteer at the same place.
Lions Club president Shane
Wimmer conducted the meeting.
Paul Elam led the song service, with
piano accompaniment by Sweetheart
Jean Moffatt. The birthday of
Lioness Bonnie Ericson was
observed by the club. Other guests
were Judy Shibley, Carolynn
Cohorn, Teena Wimmer, Luke
Wimmer and Lindsey Wimmer.
Terry Jeffries led the Pledge of
Allegiance and Darrel Evins gave
the invocation. Because it was
Ladies Day, two handshake golden
dollars were presented, with Bonnie
Ericson giving one to Ted Ward,
who in turn presented it to Lindsey
Wimmer. Terry Jeffries presented
one to Queen Amy Wood.
Wimmer told the club of the
death of Past Lion Boss and Zone
Chairman Ira Clower Tuesday
morning. Lions were to serve as
honorary pallbearers and sing at the
10:30 a.m. funeral service Thursday
morning at the First United
Methodist Church.
Lion Bob Summer planned to
attend a barbecue Friday, August 1,
at 6 p.m. honoring Past District
Governor and Texas Lions Club
Camp Chairman C.A. McCown of
Snyder. The barbecue was to be held
at the camp near Kerrville.
In charge of next week’s
program will be Lipn Curtis Brown.

Adams, Ericson Speak on
Hospice to Seminole Rotary
Joan Adams, Rebecca.Ericson
and Bonnie Gill of the new Hospice
program at Seminole Memorial
Hospital presented the program at
the regular weekly meeting of the
Seminole Rotary Club Thursday.
Mrs. Ericson explained the
purpose of the program and who was
eligible for its services.
Hospice will work as a “team”
when assigned to a patient,
including a doctor, at least one
Registered Nurse, a chaplain and a
social worker.
G'll is the social worker for the
organization and said her main job
was to help patients “die with
dignity" and to intervene with the
tamily to help with the grieving
process.
Memorial Hospital CEO Steve
Beck, a Rotary member, told
members that it was felt the service
was badly needed in Seminole and
outside agencies previously
providing the service, it was felt,
“weren’t getting the job done.”
He also said the “people vv ill be
cared for, whether they can pay or
not.”
Hospice saw its first patient
Thursday.
During the business portion of
the meeting, President Teena
Wimmer asked members to sign up
for the various Rotary committees in
place to assist the chairmen of those
committees.
Doug Hairiman won the weekly
drawing.
