Our Core Principles
-
Hospice care is about living.
- We see every day of life as precious as we help our patients and family members celebrate it to the very end.
- We support each other in the important service that we provide, helping to find meaning and joy in our own lives.
- End-of-life events are universal.
- We recognize this elicits compassion for those we serve. It is the foundation of unwavering support we offer to those affected by the end stages of life.
- We treat all patients and their families as we would our own, striving to facilitate the peaceful transition we would wish for our loved ones and ourselves.
- Comfort and dignity should be accessible to all.
- We serve our community with honesty and integrity, and support any and all who are in need of our services.
- Through responsible stewardship of our resources and dedicated support from our community, we ensure our continued ability to reach those in need, regardless of background, class, or legacy.
- Every life experience is exceptional.
- We understand our care must be equally exceptional.
- Each patient’s journey is unique and each has different goals and challenges to overcome. We nurture the strengths and talents of each of our employees and volunteers to provide excellent, individualized care.
- To listen is to understand.
