Hospice of McAlester

Mission Statement

We believe that the fundamental unit of care in hospice is the terminally ill person and their family or loved ones who have the opportunity to provide mutual support and love. We believe that every terminally ill person and their family members or loved ones should have the opportunity to complete "life closure tasks" which broadly include: experiencing a meaningful ending or transition from physical life, an enhanced sense of belonging, and a sense of purpose and hope. We believe that Hospice of McAlester’s Interdisciplinary Team members are responsible for encouraging trusting relationships with the terminally ill person and their family members or loved ones built upon honesty and openness, clarifying and providing care choices, and establishing a sense of personal empowerment.
