Nightingale Hospice Philosophy
Nightingale Hospice affirms life
Our Hospice exists to provide support and care for persons in the last phases of incurable disease so that they might live as fully and comfortably as possible. We recognize dying as a normal process whether or not from disease, and do not hasten nor postpone death. Hospice exists in the hope and belief that, through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and families may be free to attain a degree of both quality and comfort. |
Volunteers - the heart of Hospice
Volunteers are essential to the important work provided by Nightingale Hospice.
Hospice volunteers provide important services to people living with a life limiting illness and help family members and caregivers in a variety of ways - from providing patient care, office work to assisting with community outreach.
