Hospice of Spokane cares for anyone of any age with any terminal condition. Anyone can refer a person to Hospice of Spokane. Individuals are eligible for hospice care if their life expectancy is six months or less and they no longer desire life-prolonging treatments.
Hospice of Spokane, a community-based nonprofit hospice, was among the first hospices in the United States and has served the Greater Spokane area since 1977. We are nationally-recognized as experts in helping people handle end-of-life issues with grace, dignity, comfort and peace of mind. Our comprehensive knowledge, reputation and trust of the community come from decades of experience and dedication to providing the highest quality care.
Our patient-centered care is provided by interdisciplinary teams comprised of physicians, nurses, social workers, nurse aides, volunteers, chaplains, bereavement counselors and other professionals.
