Hospice of the Valley - Sherman Home 3.31

Sherman Home is Hospice of the Valley’s first palliative care unit that was designed and built from the ground up. It opened in 2006 on the Mayo Clinic Hospital campus. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford views of the surrounding desert. Twelve private rooms each open to outside patios. A meditation room gives patients and families a quiet space, and a family room with a fireplace provides a conversational setting. Elegant and understated, Sherman Home honors the memories of Minnie and Armond Sherman, parents of Evelyn Feffer, a hospice volunteer whose generous donation helped construct the home. Hospice of the Valley and the Mayo Clinic collaborate on providing and teaching about palliative care.
