Long-Term Care residents at Minnie Hamilton Health System were treated to tea and cookies by Julie Beckner of Hospice Care on November 23.

Ms. Beckner and the residents enjoyed dressing in old-fashioned hats and boas while enjoying a variety of hot teas and wafer cookies. The residents and staff had a great time and wish to thank Hospice Care for their consideration.
