Adventist St. Thomas Hospice recognizes death as the final stage of life. We are devoted to serving patients and families through compassionate, supportive, holistic care. We respect their dignity, rights and individuality, seeking to make the final days as comfortable and meaningful as possible.

Our bereavement coordinators provide 13 months of support to the families of our patients through letters, literature and phone calls following the death of their loved one. 
~Our bereavement support services are open to all community members dealing with loss, many free of charge.

For children who have experienced a loss, we offer Tommy's Kids with several helpful options including two youth camp experiences as well as support groups during the year. Learn more about Tommy's Kids.
