Northern Arizona Hospice

Hospice care is for patients who have a terminal illness and have decided to shift the focus of care from cure to comfort. Hospice care emphasizes the quality of remaining life and allows the patient to remain at home in familiar surroundings while receiving expert healthcare. It focuses on the comfort of the patient and supports the family members in caring for their loved one at home.

We never turn anyone away because of financial circumstances. As a not-for-profit organization, Northern Arizona Hospice depends on your gifts to make this possible.
