May 2016 Mission To Africa

At LifePath Hospice, we go way beyond those basic hospice requirements to identify and meet the specific needs of each patient and family—from extra homelike touches in our two hospice houses to the hands-on bereavement care we provide to families long after their loved one has died. The mission of LifePath Hospice is to provide quality palliative care and relieve the suffering of those in our communities affected by life-limiting illnesses and end-of-life issues, maintaining the highest ethical standards, so all may live as fully and comfortably as possible.
