Creating higher standards of care
Beacon Hospice is a Medicare, Medicaid and CHAP certified program providing superior end-of-life care services. Founded in 1995 to better serve the needs of the terminally ill patients, Beacon Hospice believes in "quality in living." Driven by patients' choices and the manner in which they wish to live out their lives, we're striving to establish the highest standard in hospice care.
