A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Hospice of Washington County building has been set for August 9th at 4:30 pm. An open house will follow after the ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the latest addition to Washington.

The old Hospice building was torn down in May of 2022 to make way for the water quality project. The overall project will use native plantings and seeding in the Bioretention cells and building landscaping, and the disturbed areas of the property will use compost, topsoil, and tillage to improve soil conditions and reduce nutrient runoff into the Crooked and Long creeks. The demolition was part of a recent $60,000 grant awarded to Washington County Hospice from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

You can contact Hospice of Washington County or the Washington Chamber of Commerce if you want more information about the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Hospice building.
