Following is a listing of available resources on end-of-life issues. In addition, Beloit Regional Hospice has over three hundred titles of books, videos and audio cassettes related to end-of-life issues. These are available to the community free of charge as part of our lending library program. We are continually upgrading the library and are interested in knowing about books or other resources that have been helpful to you. Feel free to come in to our offices at 655 Third St. Beloit, WI during regular business hours to browse or ask for assistance in finding what you need.
