Did You Know?
Hospice isn’t only for cancer patients.
Only about 1/3 of those receiving our hospice services have cancer. Most are living with other serious illnesses such as heart disease, COPD, dementia, or kidney failure.
Hospice care isn’t just about a diagnosis – it’s about ensuring comfort and providing expert medical support for anyone living with a life-limiting illness.
Our compassionate team will:
- Evaluate your loved one’s needs at no cost
- Coordinate with their physician on their behalf
- Handle all insurance and Medicare paperwork
- Begin care as soon as 24-48 hours after referral
Starting the conversation is the hardest part — we’re here to help with everything else.

For patients without insurance, Hospice of the Piedmont provides care regardless of someone’s ability to pay. Generous gifts from our community help make this commitment possible.
