The staff from Pella Regional Health Center donated a quilt to Hospice of Pella during their “Light Up A Life” memorial event. Hospice of Pella uses quilts that are handmade by people from the community as a way of communicating warmth and a sense of peace during this time of their lives. The “Blessing of the Hands” quilt was created from signatures of over 300 Pella Regional employees. Joyce Stubbe created the design of the quilt, and Aleta Gustavson quilted the blanket for Hospice of Pella. The quilt will be displayed at the Comfort House for a time and someday will be incorporated into the supply of quilts for patients to use during their stay at the Comfort House.
