Mission Statement
Hospice Care of South Carolina seeks to alleviate the fears most commonly associated with the diagnosis of a life-limiting illness such as the fear of helplessness, the fear of overwhelming medical costs or concerns of caregiver burnout. Our goal is to provide comfort and resources for people facing end-of-life and their families.
Our Mission is to be the leader of end of life care services and a superior resource and advocate for all of our patients, families, caregivers and the communities we serve. We are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce that reflects the highest ethical and professional standards of behavior.
Our vision is to establish a local community hospice in all 46 counties in South Carolina. We believe that no one should walk the journey alone. It is our vision to provide outreach and education to the communities we serve so that all residents of South Carolina will understand the services available to them as they reach end of life.
