FOR PATIENTS & FAMILIES

Mission Hospice is a local, independent nonprofit that offers personalized care for people with serious illness. We honor and support people’s wishes for the last phase of life and provide our community with exceptional end-of-life care and education.

​

Why choose Sapphire Hospice & Palliative Care?

​

We are local. Sapphire Hospice & Palliative Care's board, staff, and volunteers all live locally, and we work closely with neighboring hospitals and community agencies.

​

Our bottom line is patient care. While the majority of hospice providers today are focused on profits, we are committed to people.

​

Our personalized care goes above and beyond. Our programs are designed to serve patients – and their families – at every stage of an advanced illness, from education about advance care planning to grief support for those who are grieving a loss.
