The annual WinnMed Hospice Memorial Ride is set for Sunday, June 25. The event will begin on the WinnMed campus in Decorah with a free-will donation breakfast, and will be held rain or shine.  

The 2023 event will support new specialty therapies for hospice patients: Pet Therapy, Music Therapy, Massage Therapy and Spiritual Counseling.  

WinnMed Hospice Director Nancy Haberichter explained, “For hospice patients dealing with both physical and emotional pain and anxiety, the therapies can provide positive changes in mood, relaxation, peace and comfort. They reduce anxiety and stress and bring on more social interaction with caregivers and families.”

A free-will donation breakfast is open to the public from 9 to 10:30 a.m., in the WinnMed Café Courtyard, with parking available in Lot F. Menu includes french toast and sausages, cinnamon rolls, fruit, coffee and juice.
