Living With Illness Group

The diagnosis of a life limiting illness is difficult and overwhelming. When connecting with Hospice Services, your goals become our goals and we will support you and your family throughout your illness and into bereavement. We offer support through our:

Palliative Care Community Team (PCCT)

  • Connects you and your care team with expert palliative consultation, 24/7 on-call physician support, psychosocial support, and much more

Highly trained Care Companion volunteers

  • Offer social, emotional, practical and anticipatory grief support in the home

Facilitated Support Groups

  • Learn together and connect with individuals experiencing similar circumstances

Connecting with others who are currently experiencing a similar journey offers a lot of power. This support group is for individuals currently living with a life-limiting disease such as, but not limited to cancer, end-stage COPD, renal disease, heart failure or ALS. This group offers a safe platform where participants can explore the challenges of living with a life-limiting illness, feel connected to others, gain new knowledge, practice self-care, and more.

The Living With Illness support group is offered on the fourth Monday of each month, 2 to 3 p.m . on Zoom
