Mission Statement
We are called to make a healthy difference in people’s lives.
Description
The Essentia Health St. Mary's Hospice program's basic principle is to support people in living until they die. That means we embrace patents and their loved ones with support that helps them along this path. Our goal is to provide extraordinary level of service to ensure patients and their families receive the compassion and dignity you deserve at the end of life. Hospice is a philosophy of care that accepts death as a natural part of life. Since the end-of-life is inevitable, hospice seeks neither to hasten or postpone death. Rather, members of the hospice team focus on the patient's needs--physical, psychological and spiritual.
