Hospice focuses on palliative (comfort) care, rather than cure. A medically directed, specially trained team of professionals and volunteers strive to meet the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs identified by the patient and family so they can concentrate on living as fully as possible. A seven member volunteer Board of Director's governs our Medicare certified, Wyoming licensed hospice. They are historically well informed and knowledgable about health care, legal, financial, ethical and regulatory issues. Along with quality care, these individuals assure accountability and transparency to our community and donors.
