The mission of hospice is to provide comfort, support and compassionate care to people with life-limiting illnesses and to their families in a manner that respects the dignity of each individual, and to foster community acceptance that dying is an integral part of living. Hospice volunteers make this special way of caring possible and are a critical part of the team of professionals who provide that care.
