Description

Hospice is a specialized program that offers help, comfort and support for people with serious illnesses and their families. Hospice is about living as fully and completely as possible by assisting patients and families with their medical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Centra Hospice began serving the community in 1984. There are currently 3 business units (Lynchburg, Farmville, and Bedford) each cover approximately a 60-mile radius and covers over 17 counties. In 2000 Centra opens up the first Hospice House in the state of Virginia (this was located in Lynchburg). Then in 2018, with the help of the Bedford community, they opened up the Bedford Hospice House.
