Did i wii O
Know r
a Hospice is not about giving up hope. It's about
embracing hope and living longer with exceptional
care.
The majority of families say "We wish we had
called sooner." We can help sooner than you think.
You have already paid for hospice care. It is an
entitlement your tax dollars earn you. Hospice
care is most often paid for by Medicare, Medicaid,
private insurance, or donations. Therefore, in
addition to easing physical and emotional
burdens, using hospice at end of life can ease
financial burdens.
Qz Volunteers are a vital part of our
compassionate team. Visit our
website to learn more about being
^ a part of our remarkable mission.
