Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and Niagara Hospice will celebrate the opening of David’s Path, a dedicated hospice unit at Memorial’s Schoellkopf Health Center, during a dedication ceremony Wednesday, May 28 at 11 a.m.
The new unit, located on the second floor of the Schoellkopf Health Center, is a joint initiative of the Schoellkopf Health Center and Niagara Hospice and is named for David Winker, a beloved Memorial Medical Center employee who spent his final days surrounded by family members while being cared for at Niagara Hospice House.
David, who died in May 2013, was a dietary stores clerk who worked at Memorial for nearly 47 years. He was well known by his colleagues as a man who, except in the wintertime, rode his bicycle to work every day from his Town of Niagara home. Naming the new unit David’s Path provides a fitting tribute to David and his love of riding.
