Hospice philosophy affirms life and offers dignity and hope through the provision of their Specialist Palliative Care Service. Their vision is for everyone living in Southland to have access to the highest quality palliative care. Hospice run a six bed In-Patient Unit, but also care for around 120 patients in the community.
