 Bereavement Program
During dark times, the presence of light becomes a rallying point. It's hope for the darkness; an opening at the end of the tunnel; brighter days ahead.
These thoughts led to the development of Avera Light of Day, a program designed to provide care and resources to those walking through the journey of grief that occurs after the loss of a loved one. Learn more »
