About

Hospice is an incredibly personal experience. Its about love and support, as well as making someone comfortable. At Ecumen Hospice, we believe that each person continues to have great significance, and deserves respect and honor in their final season of life. We provide care that empowers people to live each day as vibrantly and as fully as possible.

We also walk alongside and support families through this journey, and during the 13-month bereavement period after their loved one dies.
