Mission Statement
Hospice of the Shoals provides meaningful, compassionate care to patients with a life-ending illness and their caregivers in Colbert, Franklin, and Lauderdale counties in Alabama, regardless of their ability to pay, and is continuously expanding its services to meet the growing needs of our community. Its qualified and dedicated employees and volunteers provide comfort and dignity to the patient while meeting their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs.
Description
As the original hospice serving Northwest Alabama, Hospice of the Shoals enjoys a long tradition of providing loving, compassionate, highly skilled care for patients with a life-limiting illness and their families. Hospice of the Shoals helps maintain or improve the quality of life when the quantity of life can no longer be extended. We exist solely to provide highly skilled patient care and practical, emotional, and spiritual support for their families. Thanks to donations we have provided over $1 million in care to patients that did not have the ability to pay.
Hospice of the Shoals is blessed to have wonderful, caring professional staff, board members and volunteers. We could not exist without their love, compassion and hours of dedication to this agency. Volunteers and board members give countless hours making sure our patients, families and staff have what they need. They understand how important non-profit organizations are to every community, how they make a difference in the lives of others.
