Our Vision
Care when cure is no longer possible.
For anyone
Of any age
At any time
Under any roof
Our Mission
In order to respond to the needs of the dying and their loved ones:
-
WE believe in providing quality end of life care in a holistic, culturally sensitive manner
-
WE believe in normalizing death through education to professionals, children, families and communities
-
WE believe in supporting the dying, their loved ones and those who care for them in grief and bereavement
WE believe in a future where we will have forever changed end of life care.
Our Core Value is Humanness
Supporting the value of Humanness are the values of:
Choice:
-
Options make the World Hospice Organization’s vision that no one with a life-limiting condition should live and die with unnecessary pain and distress due to lack of access to quality care possible.
Knowledge:
-
The dissemination of best practices to other emerging communities.
Community:
-
Attention to cultural sensitivity; small and under-serviced areas with challenging demographics; respects all definitions of “community”.
Collaboration:
-
As a player in the community we work in collaboration with any other players in the community including (and especially) the caregiver. As a matter of fact we ask our partners "where do you need us" and we roll up our sleeves and help make a difference.
Empowerment:
-
Acknowledging that communities deliver end of life care in both institutionalized and non-institutionalized environments, we seek to ensure that compassion, respect and culturally sensitive human connection are the tenets of that care.
