Palliative Care

More Than Care: Our Vision for the Future

As we step into our next chapter as Alderwood, our name reflects a growing commitment to meet our community’s needs.

We are expanding our mission beyond traditional hospice care to eventually encompass a fuller array of care—including specialized palliative care and deeper, specialized counseling services.

Coming Soon

Palliative Care

To ensure that our hallmark standard of clinical excellence and deep emotional support is perfectly in place, we are carefully preparing our teams for the official launch of our palliative care program.

What to Expect: Highly specialized care designed to support patients and families at any stage of a serious illness. Once launched, this program will work alongside and supplement the curative treatments provided by your existing doctors.

We look forward to introducing these expanded services to the broader community in the near future. In the meantime, our premier hospice care, grief and bereavement support, and community counseling remain fully active and available to you today.
