It was also the beginning of a new project to see chronically ill Hospice patients have a wish come true, said Ashleigh Smith, newly appointed public relations officer and marketer of Hospice Knysna and Sedgefield.
"As a hospice we recognise that it is often hard for a healthy person to see the needs beyond the physical/medical needs of a patient. Patients have dreams and aspirations that they begin to realise, but will never manifest due to their declining health.
We don't want to minimise the importance of the psychosocial needs of our patients, which has prompted us to start this project and will soon get an official name," explained Smith.
