LDHC Palliative Care Program Preparing for 3rd Memorial Butterfly Release

Wawa's hospital looking to continue a tradition started ahead of the pandemic, to honour those who've passed.

Wawa Family Health Team Nurse Practitioner Tricia Provost explains the Palliative Care Program's third annual "Memorial Butterfly Release" will be something of a mix of the first and second versions, given the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions.

Provost notes the in-person event will include live music, with the celebration to be livestreamed so people can watch and join in the release.

Butterflies can be purchased through an Eventbrite page - with a deadline of August 16th - and more information's available there or from Troy Dereski at the Lady Dunn Health Centre.

The event will be held August 25th.
