Volunteers have been notified that Bronson at Home of Barry Community Hospice is closing its Hastings office at 450 Meadow Run the first of the year.

The hospice service will continue to provide all of its services with the same volunteers and staff and will stay at its present location until the first of the year, hospice volunteer Georgette Schirmer said.

The service will then move to Emanuel Episcopal Church, 315 West Center Street in Hastings, until they find a permanent home.

“It will be a challenge,” Schirmer said, “but we will still be providing our services, going to nursing facilities and homes, giving respite and holding vigils.”

There are few details on reasons for the change as yet, however, more information is expected from Bronson’s Corporate Communications office the first of next week.
