CARING HOSPICE PROFESSIONALS
ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
To provide comprehensive quality patient care to our patients while recognizing the valuable relationships with our employees, referral sources and the communities we serve.
WHO ARE WE?
Appalachian Hospice is locally owned and operated. We are not a big or publicly traded national chain. We understand the needs of the communities we serve and are focused on providing the highest quality hospice care.
We believe in a family-centered approach to care that provides comfort & support for both the patient and their family. Our team of dedicated professionals will always treat your family as part of ours with dignity and respect. From physical to spiritual and emotional support, we are here for you.
It is our philosophy to work as a team to provide for your and your family’s needs during this difficult time. We select only the most compassionate and experienced professionals to join the Appalachian team.
Appalachian Hospice does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability or age in admission, treatment, services, their ability to pay and/or in employment. Appalachian Hospice does not serve patients under the age of 18.
