Horizon Home Care & Hospice
Horizon Home Care & Hospice recently opened its renovated hospice in-patient unit at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital’s Ozaukee Campus, located in Mequon. The updated unit, renamed the Lawlis Family Hospice, features larger rooms for individual patients and a more inviting atmosphere for patients and their visitors. New amenities include refrigerators in each room, an outdoor patio and a lounge. The space also incorporates more natural lighting. The renovation, completed by Milwaukee-based C.G. Schmidt Inc., added about 400 square feet to the 14-room unit, increasing the hospice facility to about 13,400 square feet. Renovation and expansion efforts were made possible by a $1 million grant from the Lawlis Family Fund through the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.
