Our mission is to provide quality care for patients faced with a life limiting illness. The goal is to improve the quality of a person’s life through pain and symptom control, as well as with emotional and spiritual support.
We believe the patient and family are integral decision making members of the hospice team in planning care. Hospice offers an alternative to repeat hospitalizations. Hospice affirms life. It neither hastens nor postpones death but assists the patient and family in living with a life limiting illness. Hospice regards dying as a normal process at life’s end which we can provide dignity and comfort for the patient and loved ones.
