The word "HOSPICE" today defines an interdisciplinary program of care, addressing the medical, psychological, and spiritual needs of patients and their loved ones faced with a life threatening illness. Hospice care is most helpful when families need to learn how to physically care for the patient, or the patient and/or loved ones need physical, emotional, or spiritual support. No patient is denied care because of their ability to pay, for in these cases, United Way funds, community donations/memorials are utilized to meet the needs of patients.

"You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life and Hospice will do all we can, not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die."
- Dr. Cecily Saunders
