Philosophy
Community Hospice is committed to the concept of hospice as an alternative to traditional health care for terminally ill patients. Hospice services are holistic, comprehensive and
multidisciplinary.
- Holistic in that the patient, his/her family and living situation are all considered when the plan of care is determined and implemented.
- Comprehensive in that a broad range of services is provided meeting the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the patient and his/her family.
Mission
Community Hospice is dedicated to:
- Reducing the suffering, grief and expense by patients with a limited life expectancy for whom a cure is no longer a reality.
- Ameliorate the burdens experienced by the families of these patients.
- Enhancing both the public and health care professionals in our area to a more clearly humane approach to death and the care of those whose death from disease is imminent.
- Enlisting the support and involvement of our employees in the Hospice Program as well as volunteers from the community.
- Building and maintaining a trained and caring multidisciplinary team to carry out this mission.
