November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. During this time, I would like to acknowledge the outstanding care that the Center for Hospice provides to the southeastern Connecticut community. As the new vice president for patient care at the Center, I am truly grateful to have joined an organization so dedicated to compassionate, quality care while carrying out the mission “to provide quality care for people with life-limiting illnesses and support for their loved ones before and after death.” Each employee strives to provide this care with the dignity and respect our patients and families deserve, and in the utmost professional manner.

Patients and families have a choice about what care to receive and who they receive care from. Center for Hospice Care Southeast Connecticut has been a community leader in the provision of Hospice Care for over 30 years, and we hope to be your first choice for Hospice and Palliative Care. We are honored to have the opportunity to continue to provide Hospice and Palliative Care services to our community.
