2011 LEGISLATIVEWEEK 11 IN REVIEW
Dear Friends:
NEXT STEP IN BUDGET
PROCESS TAKEN
Senate Republicans announced
budget targets this week as part of an
upcoming plan to solve the states
projected budget deficit. The overall
budget spending level is set at rough-
ly $34 billion for the 2012-13 budget,
protecting funding levels for educa-
tion, health and human services andpublic safety. I believe this plan rec-
ognizes the core constitutional
requirements of state government
while also scaling back automatic,
and unnecessary, government growth
and spending.
REWORKING HOW GOVERN-
MENT PROGRAMS ARE PAID
FOR
Lawmakers announced HF681
and SF434, an initiative for perform-
ance pay for state government pro-
grams. The pilot project would focus
on accomplishments for recipients of
state money. By demanding measur-
able results in order to receive fund-
ing, the program would ensure that
state government is working for tax-payers. Through the use of appropri-
ation bonds rather than state general
fund spending, it also provides new
private sector investment and
encourages fiscal discipline, trans-
parency and public-private collabora-
tion.
SENATE ACTS TO PROTECT
SAFETY DOGS
A bill that I co-authored unani-
mously passed the Minnesota Senate
that increases penalties for people
who harm or kill police and other
public safety dogs in police actions,
search and rescue, correctional facili-
ties or arson investigations. Under
the bill, killing or causing great bodi-
ly harm to such a dog could prompt a
fine up to $5,000 and restitution costs
up to $25,000. As part of the first K-9
unit in Douglas County, I know first-
hand how important police dogs are
to a police force and to the people
they help and protect.
VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMIS-
SIONER APPROVED
I am proud to say Veterans Affairs
Commissioner Larry Shellito
received unanimous approval on the
Senate floor Thursday. Shellito grad-
uated from Minnesota State
University Moorhead, and spent time
in district 11 as President of the
Alexandria Community and
Technical College. Most recently, he
spent seven years as Adjutant
General of the Minnesota National
Guard, before retiring last year.
Shellito served in Vietnam and spent
37 years in the Minnesota Army
National Guard.
UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION
SIGNED
A Senate Republican initiative
passed unanimously which permits
unemployed adult children of busi-
ness owners to collect unemploymentbenefits under the same eligibility
rules as other unemployed employ-
ees.
COAL MORATORIUM SEEKS TO
ENSURE FUTURE POWER
In separate committees in the
Senate and House, lawmakers over-
whelmingly voted this week to allow
the states utilities to buy electricity
made from coal. If the measure
becomes law, it would open the door
for Minnesota companies to sell ener-
gy generated at a new North Dakota
plant. A current state moratorium on
new use of electricity produced by
coal is under court challenge and
sponsors say the restriction puts the
state at an unacceptable risk whenconsidering a reliable supply of elec-
tricity in the future.
COMING UP
Moving forward, Senate commit-
tees will continue to hear bills in a
timely manner in order to meet the
earliest committee deadlines in
recent history. As Chair of the
Environment & Natural Resources
my committee and I will be workingtowards hearing all bills relating to
the budget as well as creating our
budget targets by the aggressive
March 25 deadline.
Committees will also hear bills
that consider Minnesotas health care
spending to comply with federal
health care law, prohibiting certain
cell procedures likened to cloning,
and job training programs.
The Local Government &
Elections Committee will begin
week-long hearings on bills requiring
a photo ID to vote, and the Senate
will hear a bill that proposes an "I'm
not taxed enough already" check-off
on tax returns.

stituent input, and can be reached at

Thinking springAfter seeing the weather report for this
week, it got me thinking about spring. There
is always a long list of lakes I was going to try
to get on over the winter but never seem to
find the time to hit them all. But with rising
temps and longer days, ice will start to deteri-
orate and before we know it, open water will
be here and we'll all be mowing the lawn
again.
One thing I always try to find time to do
before all the ice is gone is place a wood duck house or two out each
year. Just my way of trying to give back a little. I know some peo-
ple like to hang them on trees, but I've had better success mount-
ing boxes on a post over open water. Nesting boxes mounted on
trees seem to have a higher probability of being homesteaded by
squirrels or having the eggs raided by raccoons. Some of you might
think I'm crazy for waiting until now to get things done, but the
truth is, the mud on the bottom of the pond is not frozen. A couple
people with a little ambition can use a gas auger to drill a hole and
pound in a few posts on a nice pond in little time at all. I've tried
doing this work out in a boat, and it's ten times the job it is now.
I'm going to keep it short this week, but remember ... Think
spring!

Everyone is going to have to sacrificeTo the editor:
In response to Alan Perishs letter to the editor.
It was obvious Alans perspective was funneled by his support of the political party of his choice. I
ould point out filthy rich Democrat supporters, like George Soros, but that would miss the real or rather
unreal point of Alans letter. What I extracted was class warfare or class envy. I have never understood
his train of thought. It would be better to look inside the person and see what kind of man/woman they
eally are. I do not know the Koch brothers, but when I learned they donated over $600 million to char-
ties, not counting political contributions, I was impressed. Few people will pull out their wallet and sup-
ort with their money what they expect taxpayers to foot the bill for. Public Radio, Public TV, and
Planned Parenthood are just a few that could and should operate on private donations, much likeChristian Radio and Christian TV do.
Expecting the rich to foot the bill for everyone is not only naive, but not fair. First off, most rich peo-
le have established foundations or other shelters so they can protect their wealth so you are not going
o get them anyway. To take 30% from both in the name of taxation would seem more fair. And why
o 50% of potential tax payers pay nothing? A fair tax system would require all to pay something. But
ets take Mr. Perishs position a little further. Lets take ALL of the rich peoples income. Guess what?
We still could not even pay the interest on our national debt!! Our nation has an out of control SPEND-
NG problem. Both parties and decades of irresponsible politicians handling of our money is to blame.
Part of the fix is just what governor Walker and others are forced into, namely cutting spending. It is
ust common sense. Speaking of; Ive never been hired by a poor person, so in my experience, it IS the
eople who have money and make investments that create jobs.
I am thankful for Senator Ingebrigtsen and Representative Franson who are wise enough to hold the
ine on Minnesota State spending. We are in a tough economic spot as a state and as a nation. Everyone
s going to have to sacrifice non-essential projects to get through this and that means some of the pre-
iously untouchable things like Social Security, Medicaid and education.
Sincerely,
Gary Farber, Browerville
The seasons are finally
hanging. Its about time.
ach year the winter season
eems to last longer and
pring comes later. I suppose
f I were an avid skier or
omething, I wouldnt mind a
ong drawn out winter with
everal feet of snow. I have
ried skiing with only mini-
mal success. Some people
would consider it to have beenfailure.
My brother-in-law, Jose,
nd I had been elk hunting in
he mountains of Colorado.
My wife and sons spent their
ime visiting with my sister
nd two nieces not far from a
ki resort while Jose and I
were off in the wilds. The kids
went skiing and became fairly
roficient at it by the time we
eturned from the hunt.
omehow, my sons were able
o convince me to give it a try.
t was one of those, How hard
ould it be? suggestions. We
ad one more day before I hado be back to work so I decided
o go for it.
Lessons were recommend-
d so I signed up. My fellow
classmates ranged from age
four to approximately age six.
As well as being the tallest in
the class, I was the only stu-
dent with a camouflage
Browning hunting coat and
florescent orange stocking
cap. By noon, we were still on
the bunny slope and I knew
we wouldnt ski the mountainanytime soon at the rate we
were learning. I met the fami-
ly for lunch at the ski lodge.
My sons and nieces had spent
the morning skiing miles over
the mountain while I had
skied perhaps fifty feet. I
decided, after lunch, I was
going skiing, and not on the
bunny slope. The kids were all
for it, as was Jose. Jose
always encourages others to
try new things, especially
when hes in a warm place a
safe distance away. My wife
and sister were convinced I
would kill myself, or at least
break something important.
Women always tend to be
overly cautious.
As I rode the lift to the top
of the mountain, I reviewed
the skills I had been taught
and practiced. Id been taught
several things but was only
good at one. I could turn right
really well. For some reason I
could not turn left and that
snowplow thing that was sup-
posed to stop a person only
caused me to flip over my skis,
directly onto my face. The
drag of ones face on the snow
does cause them to stop, so
the result is the same.
At the top of the mountain,
I asked my eldest son which
trail I should take. He said if I
went on the black trails, I
would die. The blue trails
were only moderately diffi-
cult, and I might survive. The
green trails are easy and
make long sweeping arches
from the top to the bottom. I
asked him if any particular
trail arched to the right and
was relieved when he pointedme to one that did. We started
in that direction when he
abruptly turned and tore off
down a black trail.
I had no idea where I was
going, but I was staying on
the green trail. It had to come
out somewhere near the ski
lodge. I noticed people skiing
side to side, first left, then
right to control their speed.
Since I had no left, I could
only point my skis straight
downhill and follow the grace-
ful curve to the right. Even on
a green slope, a person can
work up a considerable
amount of speed. I was proba-
bly doing forty to fifty miles
per hour when I rounded a
curve to find the ski lodge,
several hundred people, and
the ski lift directly in my path.
With screams filling the air
and people grabbing small
children, the crowd parted for
the camouflaged maniac as I
pulled the best right turn I
could muster. I zoomed out of
the crowd and was doing
remarkably well at uphill ski-
ing when my forward progress
was stopped suddenly by one
of those big metal poles that
hold the lift up. One ski trip
was enough. Most outdoors
activities are great, but for
me, skiing is not one of them.

Once is enoughFeinstein Challenge Grant
To the editor:
Allan Shawn Feiinstein is again offering his million to promote ending hunger
in America.
He claims that all donations recieved in March and April by local food shelves
will be matched by the Feinstein foundation. (This is not a dollar for dollar match,
but is based on the amount raised locally, which will be proportionally divided.)
This is a pivotal time of year as it is the only time when matching funds are
available through Minnesota FoodShare and the Feinstein foundation.In 2010 we served 1,318 aduslt, 620 children, 751 households, with 48,089
pounds of food distributed. All indications show the need will be even greater this
year. Please do what you can to assure the continuance of our service to our three
community area.
If we each share even a little, it will help our cause. Your help is very much
appreciated.

Law enhances job creationTo the editor:
On behalf of the 2,300 members of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and
businesses across Minnesota, we extend our appreciation to Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen
for co-authoring a bill to expedite the environmental permitting and review process
in Minnesota while protecting the public health and environment and natural
resources of the state.Thanks to his efforts, HF 1 will implement greater efficiencies and much need-
ed practical changes to the permitting and review process. We also support
Governor Dayton for signing this important piece of bipartisan supported legisla-
tion.
Accelerating and simplifying the environmental review and permitting process
in Minnesota will enhance job creation and economic development throughout the
state.
Thank you, Sen. Ingebrigtsen.

Minnesota Chamber
Save the Foster Grandparent ProgramTo the editor:
Recently, the United States House of Representatives passed legislation that
eliminates funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service
(CNCS). If the funding bill becomes law these cuts threaten to have a dramaticeffect on the quality of life for local seniors, and all who benefit from their service.
CNCS administers many volunteer service programs, including the Foster
Grandparent Program, the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, and the Senior
Companion Program (collectively the Senior Corps) as well as AmeriCorps,
VISTAand Learn and Serve America.
As the program director of the Central Minnesota Foster Grandparent
Program, I am writing in support of the dedicated service of more than 200 foster
grandparents throughout Central Minnesota, whose ability to serve our communi-
ties will be at risk if this legislation is enacted.
The Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) is a nation-wide program that connects
older volunteers with opportunities to provide one on one mentoring, nurturing
and support to children with special needs, exceptional needs, or who are academ-
ically, socially or financially disadvantaged. In turn, Foster Grandparent volun-
teers derive significant emotional and health benefits from their service, which can
improve their quality of life and provide them with a strong sense of purpose.
Locally, foster grandparents volunteer in schools, after-school programs and
other community organizations. They provide services at a fraction of the cost itwould be to have a paid staff member in their role. Last year the volunteers in cen-
tral Minnesota mentored over 8,000 students, one-third of whom had special
needs.
Foster Grandparents may serve 15 to 40 hours a week, and receive a small
stipend to defray the cost of volunteering on low-income individuals. Locally, 94%
of our foster grandparents are living at 200% of the poverty level or below. For
many, their modest volunteer stipend ensures that they have enough money to live
on each month. Eliminating the federal funding for CNCS and thus our program
will only create the need to spend big in other ways that we have yet to realize.
Help protect the dedicated work of foster grandparents and other national serv-
ice volunteers by contacting Sen. Franken and Sen. Klobuchar (Capitol switch-
board 202-224-3121). Ask them to pass a Continuing Resolution that restores
funding for CNCS. We cannot afford to lose the cost-effective and critical contribu-
tions of over 1.5 million volunteers nationwide.

The Browerville Boys basketball team opened the Section 5A tournament as the #3 seed and played a home
game against the #6 seed, Menahga Braves.
It took just over two minutes for Seth Christensen to put the Tigers on the board with the first basket of the
game. Then, 20 seconds later, Brent Petermeier dropped in a 3-pointer for a 5 0 start. This would be answered
by a 3-pointer from Menahgas D. Hendrickson just 20 seconds after that.
With eight minutes left in the first half, Browerville was down 14 13. Menahga increased the lead to 22
17 before the Tigers started putting some offense together. Luke May made a 3-pointer to get the Tigers with-
in two and the defense held the Braves to just two points in the last 4:43 while scoring nine to take a 29 to 24
advantage into the locker room at the half.
We were a little slow starting out, and Menahga did a nice job against our press. I was pleased to see us put
29 points on the board by half, however, said Coach Schueller.
The second half started out all Browerville. The Tigers outscored the Braves 9 to 1 for a 13 point lead. Mitch
Heid made three 3-pointers and scored 19 of Browervilles first 24 points. May dropped in another 3-pointer to
give Browerville a 19 point advantage with 10:25 to go.
Christensen, Joey Gaida, and Kyle Petermeier made six free throws in a row to help the Tigers maintain a 16
point lead. Austen Wollenburg and Seth Kellen closed out the scoring with 5 of 6 from the free throw line to give
Browerville a 67 to 51 win over the Braves.
Mitch Heid led all scorers with 23 points. He also pulled down 13 rebounds, had 7 steals, and dished out 6
assists. Seth Christensen scored 12 points to go along with 7 rebounds. Luke May finished with 10 points and
Seth Kellen scored 9 points and had 8 rebounds.
Tigers 55 Upsala 59
The #2 seed, Upsala, put together a better second half to defeat the #3 seed, Browerville, in Section 5A West
playoff action last Saturday night in Wadena.
Upsala opened the game with a 3-pointer from Brandon Welinski. Browerville answered with the next 5
points including a 3-pointer by Brent Petermeier. The score was tied at 7 and again at 11. Mitch Heid hit a 3-
pointer followed by another Welinski basket to make the score 14 -13 with 10:37 remaining.
The Browerville defense then held the Cardinals scoreless over the next four and a half minutes of play to
open up a 7 point advantage. Upsala closed the gap to four before a Joey Gaida 3-pointer brought the lead back
to seven at 30 to 23 and forced Upsala to take a timeout. The half time score read 33 27 in favor of the Tigers.
The second half started off slow for the Tigers who did not score for the first 5:15. Seth Christensen then scored
a pair of baskets; the second one a 3 point play with a successful free throw attempt. This gave a Browerville 38
to 31 lead. Over the next four minutes Browerville went scoreless and Upsala came back to tie the game at 38.
The Cardinals would go on to take their first lead since the opening basket of the game on a Brent Herzog bas-ket. Browerville tied it back up at 40 on another Christensen basket.
Upsala went on to score the next 6 points before Austen Wollenburg connected on a 3-pointer to bring the
Tigers within 3. Several turnovers and some missed free throws by the Tigers allowed the Cardinals to build
their lead to 9 points at 52 43. Seth Kellen connected on a 3-pointer to make it 52 46 and hit another one
with :14 remaining to make it 58 54. Herzog made one free throw for a 5 point lead and Heid sank one free
throw for the final score of Upsala 59, Browerville 55.
Coach Schueller commented on the second half: [Upsala] took us out of our offense in the second half. I
thought our defense did well, but they broke us down with penetration and got too many easy baskets.
The Tigers finished the year with a 21 5 record and as Co-Champions of the Prairie Conference with Upsala.
Very proud of this team. Very proud of how they handled themselves and accepted their roles. It was a very good,
and fun year, to be a part of, added Coach Schueller.
Seth Christensen ended with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Mitch Heid had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Seth Kellen ended with 9 points and 5 rebounds.

DNR achieves recertification
of nearly 5 million acresThe Minnesota Department of
atural Resources (DNR) success-
lly recertified its resource man-
gement of 4.96 million acres of
ate-administered forestlands to
wo independent, third-party forest
anagement certification systems.hose third parties are The
ustainable Forestry Initiative
FI) and the Forest Stewardship
ouncil (FSC).
Forest certification is a system
at recognizes and rewards sus-
inable forest management,
xplained DNR Division of
orestry Director Dave Epperly.
Certification of Minnesota
restlands has led to a sustainable
upply of forest products and serv-
es from healthy, diverse and pro-
uctive ecosystems. It also lead to
ntinuous improvement in forest
anagement practices, better
terdisciplinary coordination andmmunication among resource
anagers and stakeholders, and
creased global competitiveness
r consumers of forest products
om certified state forestlands.
Forest certification of state-
dministered forestlands involves
veral elements. These include a
oluntary commitment to adhere to
dependently established stan-
ards for responsible forest man-
gement; participate in annual
udits performed by external audi-
rs; and address any non-confor-
ances or compliance gaps identi-
ed during audits.
Epperly said the DNR's out-
anding achievement in recertify-
g almost five million acres to both
the SFI and FSC Forest
Management Standard is a testa-
ment to the departments commit-
ment and dedication to responsi-
ble, sustainable forest manage-
ment. Currently the DNR adminis-
ters the largest single FSC forestmanagement certificate in the
nation.
We should all be proud of the
commitment and achievements the
DNR and other certified land man-
agers have made towards sustain-
able forestry, Epperly said.
In addition to the 4.84 million
acres of state administered lands
certified since 2005, DNR success-
fully expanded its dual forest man-
agement certificates by approxi-
mately 104,000 acres. This
includes 81,673 acres of Land
Utilization Project (LUP) Lands in
northwestern Minnesota and
22,600 acres of trails-administeredlands in northeastern Minnesota.
FSC has long recognized the
DNR for its leadership and com-
mitment to sustainable forestry.
DNR first obtained FSC certifica-
tion in 1997 for its forestlands
located in Aitkin County.
Along with the county-adminis-
tered lands, these were the first
public forestlands to be certified in
the United States, thereby estab-
lishing the DNR as a national
leader in Forest Certification and
in protecting and managing natu-
ral lands.
Effective dates of DNR's
renewed certificates are Dec. 31,
2010 Dec. 31, 2015.

When it comes right down to it, the
art of hospice is all about living. While
spice is designed for those whose life is
mited by an illness or condition, hospice
ly is about making the most of each and
ery moment that we have. Hospice
ows for a higher quality of living both for
e patient and their loved ones.
A study was released last August in the
ew England Journal of Medicine stating
at patients with earlier referral to a hos-ce program may receive care that results
better management of symptoms, help-
g to stabilize their condition and prolong
eir survival. This affirmed the findings of
earlier study in 2007 that looked at
edicare beneficiaries with some of the
ost common terminal diagnoses.
atients who received hospice services
ed on average 29 days longer than those
ho did not receive hospice care. This
udy, published in the
ww.nhpco.org/files/public/JPSM/march-
07-article.pdf"Journal of Pain and
ymptom Management (March 2007)
oked at 4,493 terminally ill patients with
her congestive heart failure or cancer of
e breast, colon, lung, pancreas, orostate.
While hospice is not about prolonging
shortening life, it is encouraging to know
at the quality and quantity of life can be
pacted when hospice is brought in as
on as possible. We run into problems
hen people come to us so late in their ill-
ss that there is only a fraction of our
tential assistance that is realized.
A Harvard Medical School study
oston Globe, May 26, 2006) found many
rminally ill patients and their doctors put
conversations about end-of-life choices.
nly about half of the 1,517 patients with
etastasized lung cancer in the survey
d discussed hospice care with their
ysician or healthcare provider within fourseven months of their diagnosis. The
st majority of such patients do not sur-
ve two years.
So what are we to do? Here are a few
swers to many of the questions we
ceive:
When is the right time to call hospice?
gns to look for include: if the patient has
creased pain, breathing distress or other
mptoms; repeated hospitalizations or
ps to the Emergency Room; a failure to
ounce back after medical setbacks, an
crease in needing assistance for walking,
ting, bathing, dressing, etc. By calling
rly, we can answer questions and assist
soon as possible rather than later.
When is someone appropriate for hos-ce? What should be considered as
tient and family needs? A physician
termines when a patient is hospice
propriate, but it doesnt hurt to inquire
hen that time would be. Having a prog-
sis of six months or less if the illness fol-
ws its normal course follows the hospice
idelines. Planning often allows for more
oices and control over how things can
fold. When a patient becomes uncom-
rtable, or requires more care than the
mily or in-home caregiver can provide,
s time to call. A caregiver should not wait
til they are exhausted to ask for help. We
n bring respite care, including compas-
onate volunteers to be there, when a
ved one requires a much needed break.Isnt hospice just for people with can-
r? The simple answer is no. On average
wer than half of our patients at Lakeland
ospice & Home Care have cancer. Most
ve heart, lung or other end-stage illness-
, including dementia, ALS (Lou Gehrigs)
d a host of other conditions. Anyone with
y illness at any age can be cared for by
spice. The service area of Lakeland
ospice & Home Care is Otter Tail county
d the surrounding 14 counties. No one
turned away for inability to pay for hos-
ce services. Medicare, Medicaid and
ost private insurance cover hospice
expenses.
What services can hospice provide?
Lakeland Hospice provides equipment
(beds, walkers, wheelchairs, etc.), medica-
tions and a team of professionals brought
right to a patients door. Social workers,
hospice aides, volunteers, nurses and
even a chaplain if requested, are available
to work with patients and their families.
How long can a person be on hospice?
A person stays on hospice for as long ashe or she is hospice appropriate. Patients
are evaluated on a periodic basis and as
long as they continue to meet the guide-
lines, they are re-certified for hospice cov-
erage for as long as they live.
Where can hospice provide services?
Lakeland Hospice provides services any-
where a person lives whether a private
home, apartment, assisted living center or
even nursing home. Hospice comes right
to the patient. We are also very fortunate
here in the Fergus Falls area to have the
Lakeland Hospice House. One of only 15
licensed Hospice Houses in the state of
Minnesota, patients receive 24/7 compas-
sionate end-of-life care. Patients are able
to stay at the Hospice House for respitecare while caregivers receive a break. In
addition, patients on hospice can stay at
the Hospice House as long as necessary if
they so choose. Our average stay for our
first year of operation was 17 days. Unlike
area palliative care units, there is no maxi-
mum limit to how long a patient can be
there.
What is anticipatory grief? How can
hospice help with it? Anticipatory grief is
that grief which is felt by a loved one who
is coping with the knowledge that their
loved ones life may be shortened. This is
a difficult process for everyone, but care-
givers shoulder an extra burden. They try
to remain strong for the patient, not letting
on the pain and anguish that can be justbelow the surface emotions. Trying to
make the most of the time that is left with-
out dealing openly with the grief can be
especially difficult. Lakeland Hospice and
Home Care has a new grief support group
just for caregivers of those who have a life-
threatening illness. Go to lakelandhospice-
homecare.org for more information.
What happens after a patient passes
away on hospice? Unlike most other
healthcare agencies, hospice provides a
bereavement benefit for families who have
had a loved one who has passed away on
hospice. For up to 13 months after the
death of a loved one, Lakeland Hospices
bereavement program stays in touch with
the family through notes, calls and evenpersonal visits when requested. Grief
Support groups are also open to anyone in
the community who has suffered the loss
of a loved one regardless if their loved one
received hospice care or not. Grief Support
groups exist throughout Otter Tail county
and the neighboring service area.
As found on The National Hospice and
Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO)
Updater website, Theres an inaccurate
perception among the American public that
hospice means youve given up, said J.
Donald Schumacher, president and CEO
of the National Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization. Those of us who have
worked in the field have seen firsthand how
hospice and palliative care can improvethe quality of and indeed prolong the lives
of people receiving care.
Schumacher goes on to state that, The
time to learn about these services is before
a person is in a medical crisis. Patients and
families must learn about these options of
care as soon as possible,
Lakeland Hospice & Home Care can be
reached by calling (218) 998-1400 or toll
free (888) 820-7885. Staff is available on
call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Hospice is about living
he best life possible
