Lap Blankets
Material and designs of your choice. Some favorites have been bright colors yarns or material with designs of birds, horses, dogs and cats. The blankets are given to patients in our program to brighten their day. With each blanket given, a touch of warmth, care and comfort is added to their days. (patterns available)

Mission Statement
It’s hard to know where to turn for help when facing a serious illness. ViaQuest can improve the quality of life for those living with chronic and terminal diseases and conditions. These diseases slowly decrease an individual’s ability to live life to its fullest. There comes a time when seeking a cure may no longer be possible or in one’s best interest and the focus turns to quality of life. When that happens, ViaQuest Hospice may be the answer. Our care is not focused on the disease, but on pain relief and symptom control, making it easier for you to keep your focus where it should be - on living more fully. An important mission of ViaQuest Hospice is our role to improve end of life care and to provide support for caregivers. We go beyond standard care to bring love, comfort, compassion to enhance the lives we serve. We also recognize the unique need of Veterans and have designed a program to honor, thanks and support those in hospice care.
