How to Access Hospice Programs & Services

Hospice welcomes self-referrals. If you or someone you love is living with a life-threatening illness, call Hospice at 632-5593– we can help. Referrals to Hospice can also be made by your family physician, your medical specialist, nurses, social workers, clergy and Extra-Mural.

When You Call Us

When you call Hospice, you will be directed to one of our two program coordinators. They are responsible for assessing your needs, coordinating the delivery of our services, supervising volunteers and serving as a supportive and empathetic resource.

Our program coordinator will ask you for your name, address and phone number as well as the name of your family or attending physician. You will also be asked for general medical condition, diagnosis and prognosis. Our program coordinator will arrange a date and time to visit you to introduce herself, to discuss your needs, review Hospice services and give you a complete information package. Our program coordinators will also notify your family or attending physician that you have requested our services.
