Halcyon Hospice & Palliative Care brings a clinically-directed, interdisciplinary team to nurture, support, and heal during the last stages of an illness and into the bereavement period.
We specialize in the physical, social, spiritual, and emotional care of our patients and their families. We have professionals and volunteers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Halcyon Hospice is committed to a standard of excellence in providing sensitive, patient-centered healthcare to hospice patients and families.
At any point in our lives, we (or a loved one) may be faced with the transitions of a life-limiting illness or incurable disease. Hospice is precisely for those moments – to pause, to be present, to listen, to bring peace, and to settle the restlessness that can accompany the uncertainty of change.
