Adopt A Nurse

Our professional  nurses are the backbone of our operation.  They serve bravely and tirelessly as Hospice Plett to bring health, comfort, dignity and peace to all sectors of our wonderful Bitou Community.

The  “Adopt A Nurse” campaign gives you the opportunity to support Hospice Plett by sponsoring one of our professional nurses for a year. These funds will go towards expenses related to the service that your adopted nurse offers in our community.
