  • Our ministry is caring, compassionate, and patient-centered, based upon the biblical imperative to love one’s neighbor, and will seek to achieve the highest standards of hospice care and resource management;
  • Our hospice exists to serve the community in a non-discriminatory manner and meet its educational and service needs regarding the issues of death, dying and bereavement.
