United Hospice of the Piedmont - Columbia

Mission Statement

At United Hospice of Columbia, we strive to add life to days when days cannot be added to life. Our team of physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, administrators, and volunteers work together to treat each patient holistically by offering a unique, interdisciplinary perspective on end-of-life care. Hospice care works to manage all symptoms of a disease while placing a special emphasis on managing pain and discomfort. We strive to afford the patient comfort that extends beyond the medical realm, though, by addressing the emotional, social, and spiritual impact of the disease on their families and themselves. Counseling services and bereavement support continue to be offered after the patient has passed, and we consider it one of our major responsibilities to make sure the patient’s family members are able to cope with the loss.
