Hospice of Chattanooga

Hospice of Chattanooga Dedicated to the belief that no one should reach the end of life alone, afraid or in pain, and that

Hospice of Chattanooga began in 1981 as an all-volunteer agency. Today, it is the community's oldest, largest, not-for-profit, United Way-supported hospice. We are specialists in end-of-life care, with full-time physicians on staff certified in palliative medicine to manage pain and symptoms. Medicare covers the full cost of hospice care for terminally ill individuals who choose the hospice benefit and agree to stop seeking curative treatments. Most private insurance plans also cover hospice care and reimbursements vary by plan. As a not-for-profit hospice provider, Hospice of Chattanooga never turns away a terminally-ill individual because of an inability to pay for our services. We rely on support from the community and donations made to The Hospice of Chattanooga Foundation subsidize our non-reimbursed care. We provide quality end of life care to 18 counties in Tennessee and North Georgia. In Tennessee, we serve Hamilton, Bradley, Polk, McMinn, Meigs, Rhea, Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Grundy, and Marion counties. In Georgia serving Catoosa, Whifield, Murray, Gordon, Floyd, Chattooga, Walker, and Dade counties. We at Hospice of Chattanooga will take the time to listen, honor your choices, and walk with you through life's journey.

Good food, meaningful conversation, and time well spent together. Over the weekend, some of our chaplains and program directors from Athens, Dayton, Jasper, and Cookville, gathered at the Cookie Jar Cafe in Dunlap, TN for a luncheon and a wonderful time spend together. The gathering provided a chance to reflect on the year ahead, strengthen connections, and renew our shared commitment to offering patients and families compassionate support and the gift of hospice care.

Many people do not realize that families can ask about hospice directly. A referral can come from a physician, hospital, or even from a family member requesting information. Early referrals allow patients and families to receive more support, education, and comfort.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Hospice Care is grounded in answering this question with compassion and humility. Today, we honor Dr. MLK Jr.’s legacy by continuing to serve patients and families with dignity, comfort, and heartfelt care.

Hospice care is more than nursing visits. Our interdisciplinary team works together to support the whole patient physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Hospice services often include nursing care, social work, chaplain support, medications related to comfort, medical equipment, and 24 hour on-call support for families.

Their expertise ensures medications are personalized, adjusted appropriately, and focused on comfort and quality of life. We are grateful for their commitment to compassionate patient centered care.

Sunday Supper Day highlights the importance of togetherness and routine especially during challenging times. Shared meals, even when simple, can offer comfort, familiarity, and connection. We recognize that food is about more than nutrition. It is about culture, memories, and moments of normalcy.

Think it’s too early for hospice? But, what if it’s not. What if you could get help for you or your loved one? A common statement we hear from families is, “I wish I had known about hospice sooner.”

Early hospice support can make a meaningful difference. Recognizing decline allows families to access care before a crisis occurs. Hospice focuses on comfort, education, and emotional support so patients and caregivers feel supported every step of the way.
