What drew me to hospice? It calls forth the parts of myself, that allow me to be my best. The philosophies of hospice has taught me a deeper commitment to compassion, trust and vulnerability that continues to amaze me still, after all these years. It has been my sincere privilege to be part of providing personalized, compassionate care to our friends and neighbors throughout the Big Sandy area. Your continued trust in our team is forever treasured,

"The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." This says it all for me. God, through hospice allows me to serve patients during the final phase of this life. To share it with them, provide comfort for them, and their family is a great honor.”

"I was drawn to hospice after being intimately involved in the process with the passing of my parents and my special needs sister. Being trained in pediatrics, I realized that the end-of-life care was just as important as the beginning of life care and I wanted to be able to assist the people in my community with the benefits I knew hospice care provided.
