Enjoy a day in the park with family and friends as we "Stroll for Hospice" in memory of loved ones and help the VNA continue to provide compassionate care for patients and their families. 

After your Stroll, we'll have lunch at the beautiful Urschel Pavilion or bring your picnic blanket to sit in the park. There will be hotdogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers along with other picnic fare.
