This statement truly represents the philosophy which drives Hospice of the North Country. Hospice is about living fully until you die, which is what each one of us is trying to do no matter our age, our life circumstances or whether we have a life limiting disease. Those who work for Hospice recognize death as a normal life process with all the joys and sorrows that are experienced during all phases of our lives.

Compassion, honesty, open lines of communication, and a never-ending commitment to excellence are hallmarks of our agency. Hospice care is delivered to all who meet the admission criteria without regard to disease, age, race, sex, national origin, orientation, religious preference or ability to pay. Restricted only by available resources, we will deliver the highest quality of care to all who meet the admission criteria.
