Hospice Quinte has revealed the new name for its hospice palliative care centre.
The care centre, to be built on Old Highway 2 across from Bayside Secondary, will be named the “Stan Klemencic Care Centre” in honour of Klemencic who donated $1 million towards the new facility.
The donation drew them even closer to their $9.5 million fundraising goal of which they have now raised 92.7%.
The late Stan Klemencic was a well known businessman in the Quinte area and he passed away this past June at the age of 94.
In a press release, Stan’s daughter Barb Toffelmire said that the home care her father received towards the end of his life motivated them to support the new Hospice Quinte care centre.
