Mission Statement
Cabrillo Hospice was created to serve; it’s as simple as that. We exist to be more than just health care. We believe that fostering a relationship with each patient and family, which is reflective of their life’s journey, is the key to not only the best care but actively creates the platform for the Cabrillo team to be the most impactful. Creating a culture in an organization that is driven by more than just bottom-line results, we focus on our professionals, structuring a pathway of development for each of them. Simply put, we choose to invest in our most precious resource, the Cabrillo team. There is room in our world for better care and better relationships. We believe we can change the world, and through service, that is exactly what we aim to do.
Description
We simply believe, based on our own experiences with hospice, that we can deliver a superior model of care driven by what people desire most often-more care in the home. In creating a model of care driven by experience and not revenue, we are leading the movement of returning hospice care from big business to its roots founded in community health care. In doing this, Cabrillo is able to deliver world-class service to those we serve; we call this "The Cabrillo Commitment."
