Our Legacy

Some of Hospice of the Red River Valley’s early visionaries
Some of Hospice of the Red River Valley’s early visionaries: L to R: Marily Geron, Art Johnson, Joy Query and Edie Lohr

In 1981 a small group of visionaries understood the value of providing end-of-life care to patients and their families, where and when they needed it. From that vision, we have responded to the needs of our region by expanding into areas where we’ve been invited and staying where we are needed—serving more than 27,000 individuals and their families.

The values embraced by the early dreamers and believers—respect for the dignity of people, belief in the quality of life, a willingness to serve and a commitment to caring—have sustained the organization and provided direction for the future.
