For Health Care Providers
Do you value same day admissions? Our highly experienced team is dedicated to giving you and your patients a quick response. Serving Roanoke, Lynchburg and surrounding communities, we are the region's hospice-of-choice for end-of-life care.
For Discharge Planners
If you are looking to reduce readmissions, our seasoned staff is ready to support your patients at home with active symptom management so they are no longer dashing to the ER. Working with family caregivers, we make sure they have the resources they need to ease their loved one's anxiety, pain and difficult symptoms.
