Compassion Hospice was founded in May of 2007 by local residents after much thought, prayer, and consideration to the state of hospice care in the area. Founded under the premise of “Care without Compromise”, our goal is to be the area leader in providing genuine and honest hospice care.
In reaching for those goals, we became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospice in October of 2007 and joined the Texas Non-Profit Hospice Alliance, an alliance of the largest and oldest nonprofit hospices across Texas. We also made the commitment to attaining national accreditation through the Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) – this 3 year process was completed recently and signifies our meeting or exceeding higher standards in both hospice care and administrative responsibilities.
As the area’s only locally owned, nationally accredited nonprofit hospice, we’re committed to developing a center for excellence in compassionate hospice care and community-wide grief and bereavement services. Our non-profit status allows us to devote an increased effort to providing exceptional care of the terminally ill and their families regardless of their ability to pay. We are now accepting patients and will be opening our grief and bereavement center in the coming year.
