Our Philosophy of Hospice Care

Hospice is a concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients in the last phase of life and their families. Hospice care seeks to enable patients to carry on in a comfortable manner so that their last months may be lived with dignity and quality.

Hospice neither prolongs life nor hastens death. It provides its specialized knowledge of pain control, medical care, and psychological, emotional and spiritual support in a comprehensive manner, in an environment that includes family and friends.

Our Mission

The Heartland Hospice Memorial Fund is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to support a wide variety of community-based services, research and education and assist those who are coping with life-limiting illness, death, and the process of grief and bereavement.
