Hospice of Monroe County focuses on compassionate, end of life care, not on the cure or delaying death.  Hospice care is not just for people who have cancer.  We also care for patients with heart disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, kidney failure, and other qualifying diagnoses.

The hospice team is a group of specialized trained professionals and volunteers dedicated to providing compassionate health care to patients nearing the end of life. Our hospice team maximizes comfort by placing emphasis on the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our patients and their families.

Our hospice team consists of the following: Medical Director, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurses, Home Care Aides, Social Worker, Chaplain, Volunteer Coordinator/Volunteers, Bereavement Coordinator, Dietitian, Therapist.
