Mission Statement
Providing practical, emotional and spiritual support to individuals and their loved ones through the stages of dying, death and bereavement.
Hospice palliative care aims to make the last months of life comfortable, peaceful and dignified for patients and their caregivers by providing care, support, respite and advocacy. Our trained Hospice volunteers work as part of a caregiving team that could include community home nursing, doctors, hospital and facility staff, social workers and spiritual leaders.
Beautiful animated stories of love, loss and the grief that still remains. We often use StoryCorps in our Day Hospice program to record the stories of our clients. It's such a great project and a wonderful tool for anyone trying to capture the stories of their loved ones.
Storycorps: Grief in the Digital Age
