RALEIGH, N.C. – State Employees’ CU, said its SECU Foundation, which has been funding a series of critical care hospices around the state, is donating $1 million to the latest project in Bolivia, N.C.
The $3.5 million, seven-bed SECU Hospice House will serve patients and families of Brunswick County in North Carolina. It will offer medical and respite care in a comfortable, homelike environment. Patients will be admitted for around-the-clock pain and symptom monitoring, for family members to gain caregiving skills or receive rest from caregiving, and if home care is not possible during the last days of life.
The SECU Foundation has also provided $2 million to a hospice project in Winston-Salem, $1 million to a project in Newport and separate grants to hospice projects in Kings Mountain, Hudson and Shelby, N.C.
