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.
