Our personalized approach to health care, in which an interdisciplinary team of professionals provide comfort, care and support to terminally ill patients and their families, is the foundation of our organization. With dedication to professional experience, knowledge and, most importantly, our mission, Affinis Hospice is committed to the care and well-being of its patients.
