HEARING ON PROPOSED HOSPICE SLATED FOR NEXT TUESDAY IN NEW CITY

Rockland County’s first hospice home may be coming soon. A public hearing is scheduled next Tuesday on United Hospice of Rockland’s request for a special permit to operate a home in New City. The hearing, at Clarkstown Town Hall, is the latest chapter in a five-year quest by United Hospice to bring Rockland a facility to care for terminally-ill patients in their final days. As it stands, the area’s closest hospice facilities are in Orange County and the Bronx
