Mission Statement

Our Mission is to provide optimal comfort and dignity to our patients through their end of life journey. We will achieve this by concentrating on patient and family centered goals with a focus not only on the medical needs but also by providing care for the mental and spiritual needs of our patients and families during their journey.

Description

Hospice is end-of-life care provided by skilled medical professionals and volunteers who provide medical, psycho-social, spiritual, and volunteer support to patients and their loved ones. Hospice care focuses on palliative or comfort care at the end of life when further life-sustaining treatments are either not warranted or are not desired by the patient and their loved ones.

Hospice is aimed at helping terminally ill patients to have peace, comfort, self-determination, and dignity at the end of life. Hospice provides much needed support, resources, and bereavement services not only to patients, but also to their loved ones. Bereavement support and counseling services are offered to family and friends even after a patient’s death. The support of the hospice Physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, nurse assistants, and volunteers provides the patient with quality care and gives them and their loved ones the opportunity to spend their final months in comfort in whatever environment they choose.
