Accountable to you - our community

Each member of The Hospice's family of programs is led by a volunteer board of directors representative of our community and those we serve. We cherish the trust you have placed in us and pledge to be faithful stewards - not only of the resources so generously shared with The Hospice - but also of our shared mission, vision and values.
