Programs and results
What we aim to solve
One's body goes through a great deal of change with a terminal illness. Pain and other disease symptoms can impair quality of life. Relationships change in addition, and those who are dying as well as those who love them often need help coping. Spirituality or faith may be affected giving cause to wonder if one's life has made a difference. All these changes can be hard to discuss because many in our culture are uncomfortable with their own mortality.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Hospice Patient Care
Holistic comfort care that focuses on quality of life. Educate and assist patients and caregivers to understand the life-limiting illness and the management of uncomfortable symptoms. Compassionate emotional and spiritual support also provided. Above all, we normalize death and dying as a natural part of life.
Journeys Palliative Care
A program for people with serious illness. Palliative care treats the symptoms of chronic illness to minimize suffering.
Grief Support
Support through the experience of losing a loved one through death. All members of the community are welcome whether or not their loved one died in hospice care.
