Who We Are

Hospice of Orleans is a community-based organization on a mission to care for all those living with life-limiting illness in Orleans County, their caregivers, and their loved ones. We provide our patients and their families personalized medical treatment, counseling, spiritual support, and bereavement coordination.

We care for our community.

We offer face-to-face support and grief counseling to anyone in our community who has experienced a recent loss – regardless of any prior affiliation with hospice.

Each patient is a part of our family.

We care deeply for each of our patients and their loved ones. Hear what our patient families have to say.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization.

Our volunteers make a lasting impact on the lives of the patients and families we serve.
