Marysville proclaimed November as National Hospice Palliative Care Month.

“With baby boomers coming in their retirement years, this line of work is more valuable than ever. The volunteer hours are staggering,” Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said.

Hospice of the Northwest representatives were on hand for the Oct. 23 presentation. Hospice of the Northwest provided no-cost services and resources to 89 Snohomish County patients last year.
