Mission Statement
To provide compassionate care for persons with life limiting illness, at end-of-life, and persons affected by grief and loss. Our goal of care is focused on comfort and is neither to prolong life nor to hasten death.
Description
For over 30 years, Hospice Kingston has provided comfort, support and companionship to people with a life-limiting illness or affected by grief or loss. The organization's achievements are made possible by the extraordinary commitment of volunteers: they provide in-home hospice visiting and respite care, grief and bereavement support, and caregiver support; they make special events successful; they keep our gardens beautiful and inviting; they fundraise; they reach out to the community with presentations and speaking engagements, and they serve on committees and the board of directors.
