ABOUT US
Since our beginnings, hospice care has been the cornerstone of the Hospice & Palliative CareCenter; but over the years, we have introduced new and expanded programs. These programs include grief counseling and advance care planning—both free of charge—for anyone in the community, as well as expanded palliative care services designed to meet the needs of patients earlier in the disease process. We reached an important milestone in 1998 when we opened our Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home so that we could provide around-the-clock care to our patients and families who need short-term inpatient care or respite care.
Our staff is made up of specially trained professionals who work as a team and take care to focus on the physical as well as emotional, spiritual, and social needs of our patients and families.
While much has changed in thirty years of serving, our commitment to providing care, comfort, and compassion has stayed the same.
OUR MISSION
Hospice & Palliative CareCenter provides compassionate care for those individuals living with a life-limiting illness and their families, through quality medical, emotional, spiritual, and social support.
OUR VISION
With support from our communities, we will provide the absolute best in compassionate, competent, and cost-effective end-of-life healthcare to all who need it.
OUR CORE VALUES
- Commitment: Committed first and foremost to the delivery of Compassionate Care for all of our constituencies (patients, families, payors, community, and each other).
- Compassion: Compassionate Care is at the very heart of what we do and why we exist. Compassionate Care values human dignity. It is doing the right thing for the right reason. It differentiates us from all other providers.
- Competence: Competent Care is the first essential step to providing Compassionate Care. It is leading edge and cost competitive with any other credible provider.
- Community: Community support is our ultimate edge in providing Compassionate Care. It enables us to constructively enlist the collaborative support of volunteers and other community entities, creating the capacity to meet community needs.
- Creativity: Creativity is tapping the brilliance within ourselves and our community to generate ideas that will continually improve Compassionate Care in the face of all that might challenge it.
