History - Commemorating 30 Years of Compassionate Care

It all began over 30 years ago when a few local folks gathered on a back porch, knowing there was a better way, and started to figure out how to make it happen. That’s when the idea of hospice was first considered in North Carolina. Those dedicated individuals wanted to improve the way people die. They knew that most people, given a choice, would prefer to die at home - surrounded by family, with dignity, peace, and as comfortable as possible. They were successful.
