The employees of the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op understand the importance of having strong, well maintained palliative care programs available in rural Manitoba. That’s why they’re doing everything they can to support a pair of local initiatives. On Friday, Feb. 2, Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op conducted a cheque presentation for $2,089 to the palliative care units in Neepawa and Gladstone. The money will be divided equally in each community. Neepawa Palliative Care Coordinator Mary-Ellen Clark and Gladstone Palliative Care Coordinator Leah Hamm accepted the donations.
