About Us - Hospice Alliance

Rita Hagen with federal employees At Hospice Alliance, we understand that not all hospices have the same mission, and choosing a hospice care provider may seem difficult. When seeking hospice care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to choose the one that is the best fit for you and your family. When making this important decision, you may want to consult your healthcare providers, your family and neighbors. And when the time comes, communicate your specific request to your physician.
