Mission Statement

The mission of Hospice & Community Care is to give hope, comfort and compassion to our community when needed most.

Over the years we have helped thousands of terminally ill people live their final months in a comfortable, caring atmosphere. We are a non-profit agency, which means that we are driven by our mission of caring for our community and community members are stakeholders in our organization.
