aspires to a world

At the heart of our mission lies a single focus: to enhance the quality of life for those nearing the end of life’s journey and for those who grieve.

in which every life

• We help our patients live each day to the fullest – pain-free, and surrounded by love and compassion. Our team of physicians, nurses, social workers, home health aides, interfaith chaplains, and trained volunteers provide the highest quality, compassionate care for our patients and their families. • We believe that no one should ever have to grieve alone. Our highly trained, compassionate professionals are experts in grief and loss. We help children and adults understand their feelings and thoughts, and guide them through the process of coping with the effects of a serious illness or accepting the loss of a loved one. We could not do this important work without you. Your investment in The Elizabeth Hospice enables us to provide comfort and counsel to children and adults who are facing life’s most difficult challenge, and restore hope to grieving children and adults who are feeling lost and alone. On behalf of our Board of Directors and staff, I want to thank you for your generosity and support.
