Skagit Hospice Compassion and dignity every moment of life.

Skagit Hospice provides terminally ill patients with the medical support necessary to live as fully and comfortably as possible while remaining at home during the later stages of their illness.

Hospice is a philosophy of care that values life from the moment it begins until the moment it ends. The end of life does not have to be painful or lonely. With caring, personalized service, the hospice client can live every day of their remaining life to its fullest, in comfort and dignity.
