We provide specialty care for those facing life limiting illness as well as support to their loved ones. Hospice is a medical specialty. Just as Cardiology is specialty care of the heart, hospice is specialty care at end of life. The emphasis of hospice care is on comfort and quality of life when life options are limited.
Palliative Care is a specialty that focuses on relieving and preventing the symptoms associated with chronic illness, with a goal of improving quality of life. Physician to physician consultations are available to discuss your patient's prognosis, eligibility, and symptom management or for them to meet with your patient to discuss hospice/palliative care.

The idea of having our own hospice came as a necessity for the three of us. Having cared for frail and homebound patients in our community for many years, we each witnessed the breakdown of care that can occur as patients transition to hospice. It was our specialty training in hospice, and appreciation of our patients' needs during those times, that motivated us to be owners to be able to direct the care the way we knew it should be done.
