Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley was founded in 1983 as an all-volunteer organization serving one patient at a time. Over the years, Hospice expanded its services and has become the primary resource in the community for grief information and education, services, and support.
True to our founding mission, hospice care is now provided to over 400 patients and their families each year with a fully-trained, paid professional staff. In addition, 50 volunteers provide patient care and staff support. Core hospice services include regular visits from an RN case manager, social worker, home health aides, and chaplain with the goal of providing comfort, dignity and support through the end of life process.
