At Community Hospice & Palliative Care, we’re honored to once again be recognized with the Hospice Honors award, a testament not just to our clinical excellence, but to the compassion we bring to every bedside, every home, every conversation.

We’re here to improve quality of life, to ease pain and lift burdens, and to be the Compassionate Guide that families need when time matters most. And most importantly, as the only non-profit hospice provider in the region, we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay.
