About
Spartanburg Regional Hospice provides support to patients, as well as families, caregivers and friends, assisting with the emotional, social, and spiritual impacts of illness and loss. We strive to fulfill the promise of Dame Cicely Saunders, a nurse and social worker, credited for her work in end of life care. Saunders, founder of modern hospice philosophy, once said, “You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can, not only to help you die peacefully, but to live until you die.”
It is important to remember that hospice is not a place; it is a philosophy of care. Central to that philosophy is that hospice provides comfort and support for choices at the end of life.
