At Hospice of San Luis Obispo County...
...we believe people should never have to face death, serious illness or grief alone. This simple belief has motivated our staff and volunteers to serve our community for 30 years.
Hospice began forty years ago, as a volunteer grassroots movement, and brought dying out of the back wards of hospitals into the light of a compassionate caring community. We continue to support:
- those living with a life threatening or terminal illness
- those grieving the loss of a loved one
- community members wanting to explore end-of-life and quality of life issues
Our
volunteer Hospice provides a wide spectrum of non-medical respite and
support programs, grief, loss, and wellness counseling. Community crisis
response, professional training, and community education is offered.
Our client services are free of charge, and many are offered in Spanish
as well as English.
As the only volunteer hospice in the county, we rely 100% on community donations, fund-raising events, grants, and bequests. We also depend on more than 200 volunteers who generously give of their time and talent.
From opening a North County office in Paso Robles to expanding our Latino Outreach Program, our dedicated staff, board, and volunteers have worked hard this past fiscal year. Most importantly, we helped 7,056 people during 2006 cope with some of life's most difficult transitions.
Their courage and passion renew our strength to do it again in 2008.
