Letter FROM THE CEO
Dear patients and families,
We are honored to be one of the government’s extension to bring about the assistance that its people deserve by their years of contribution to the common fund that would be helpful to its citizenry when the need comes and the end of stage life journey becomes overwhelming for the patient and the family as a whole. Our team of professionals are ready to serve wholeheartedly and skillfully not just as our professions dictate but with the unwavering view that this kind of service is indeed a divine call. Hospice focuses on the hope that everyday will be the best it can be through the assistance of people who are trained in dealing with the symptoms of pain, discomfort, emotional issues of the end of life journey. The goal of hospice is to ease the suffering of chronically and terminally ill people and their families and friends.
This end of life journey is often viewed as terminal, but my wife, the CFO/COO of the company, being a hospice nurse have told me about the many cases where patients despite their poor prognosis, outlive the time limit and were given the chance to get discharged from hospice level of care after their condition has stabilized. We don't give up hope, even if things appear bleak. Our hope rests in the good Lord, who is the giver of the great eternity.
Here at B & D Hospice Services, we make sure that patients' choices, culture and beliefs are respected to ensure that our care is patient-centered.
Our purpose is to provide hope, comfort and relief to the patients and the families and help make the best and most out of life. Let our team of professionals work with you. Allow us, if you may, to share our lives with you as you go through this journey.
