Hospice Care is a nonprofit organization that serves twelve counties in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania with local staff and offices.

What is the Hospice concept?

• Hospice Care brings compassion, care and support to individuals and their families transitioning through life-limiting illness while providing outreach, education and expertise in grief support to the entire community.
• Hospice is designed to help persons to live more comfortably and as fully as possible.
• Hospice Care is a concept of care, not a place.
• At a time when nothing more can be done to cure the disease, there is still so much that can be done for the patient and loved ones.

Hospice Care’s Goal

• To relieve pain, fear and loneliness. Our focus remains on the living that is taking place.
• We want our patients to “embrace life.” We do this by providing complete program of care, which includes:
  • management of pain
  • psychological support
  • social support
  • physical support
  • spiritual support
• We view the family as the unit of care.
• To be experts in the control of pain and discomfort.
