Our Philosophy: The Hamilton Hospice program recognizes death as a natural part of life and seeks neither to prolong nor hasten the dying process. We provide an approach to healthcare which provides an emphasis on symptom management while helping patients and families with psychosocial and spiritual needs.
Our Mission: We provide leadership, partnerships, and seamless resource coordination to meet health care needs that advance the quality and dignity of life.
Our Vision: We strive to be the region’s first choice for health care and to excel in clinical quality and patient/community satisfaction.
At Hamilton Hospice we serve patients with advance or terminal illnesses by providing comfort care focusing on pain and symptom management, psychosocial support and linkages to community resources, personal assistance for patients and caregivers, on-call nursing services 24 hours - 7 days a week, and individual and group bereavement support during the grieving process.
Our volunteers are special people and an important part of our team! Volunteer opportunities include patient support through friendly visits, sitting with patients, reading/sharing hobbies, scrapbooking, and running errands; and office support by helping with filing, mailings, data input, and bereavement support activities.
