A special memorial service is being held for those who have died at Lister Hospital.

Family and friends of patients who received palliative care at the hospital are invited to Holy Trinity Church, High Street, Stevenage on Saturday November 6 to remember them.

Revd Jane Hatton, a chaplain for East and North Herts NHS Trust which is organising the event, said: “Every year we hold this service to allow people to remember their loved ones who died at the Lister Hospital, often after a long period of illness. We know from what people tell us, the service is very much appreciated. So we hope that as many people as possible will feel able to attend.”

The service begins at 11am.
