ABOUT US
Since our beginnings, hospice care has been the cornerstone of the Hospice & Palliative CareCenter; but over the years, we have introduced new and expanded programs. These programs include grief counseling and advance care planning—both free of charge—for anyone in the community, as well as expanded palliative care services designed to meet the needs of patients earlier in the disease process. We reached an important milestone in 1998 when we opened our Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home so that we could provide around-the-clock care to our patients and families who need short-term inpatient care or respite care.

Our staff is made up of specially trained professionals who work as a team and take care to focus on the physical as well as emotional, spiritual, and social needs of our patients and families.

While much has changed in thirty years of serving, our commitment to providing care, comfort, and compassion has stayed the same.

OUR MISSION
Hospice & Palliative CareCenter provides compassionate care for those individuals living with a life-limiting illness and their families, through quality medical, emotional, spiritual, and social support.

OUR VISION
With support from our communities, we will provide the absolute best in compassionate, competent, and cost-effective end-of-life healthcare to all who need it.
