Our patients will have an experienced team of physicians, registered nurses, certified nurse aides, medical social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers available to help patients and their family members . Our physician and Legacy staff work with patients to set up a comprehensive plan of care to manage symptoms and assess the needs of the family.

A nurse and a physician are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to give patient and family support and care. Even though a physician is a part of the Legacy team, our patient's can choose to use their regular physician to direct their care. Legacy will work closely with our patient's regular physician to give the care that is needed. Potential Volunteers can go to www.Legacy-Hospice.com and complete an application.
