Bridges Hospice

Serving patients and their families in Allegheny and surrounding counties. https://t-sml.mtrbio.com/public/smartlink/bridges-hospice

Offers a holistic approach to caring for people with a life limiting diagnosis. It is a concept of care that can be provided anywhere a person calls home.

Choosing hospice care at home allows patients to remain where they feel most comfortable—surrounded by familiar spaces and the people they love.

In-home hospice care means a dedicated team comes to you, focusing on comfort, guidance, and support for both patients and families. From managing symptoms to answering questions day or night, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Because hospice care isn’t just about medical needs, it’s about peace, dignity, and being supported at home.

💙 Your Choice. Our Privilege.

Bridges Hospice began with a simple but powerful belief: care should always feel personal.

Our founder was a nurse who saw, firsthand, how families needed more than medical care at the end of life, they needed compassion, presence, and someone to truly listen.

What started as a calling became a mission:
To build a hospice rooted in dignity, choice, and individualized support.
To create a place where patients are seen as people, not diagnoses.
To serve families in our community with the same care we’d want for our own.

That mission continues today in every visit, every conversation, and every moment of support we provide.

Spread the word!! 📣 Bridges Hospice is expanding into the Mon Valley and surrounding areas in early 2026 to bring our trusted, compassionate care even closer to the communities we serve.

Myth: Hospice is only for the last few days of life.
Fact: Hospice care can support patients and families for months.

Hospice isn’t about waiting until the very end, it’s about receiving comfort, support, and guidance earlier, when it can make the greatest difference.

When hospice care begins sooner, patients may experience:
• Better symptom and pain management
• Emotional and spiritual support
• More time for meaningful moments with loved ones

At Bridges Hospice, we believe families deserve support, not stress, during this time. Understanding hospice earlier allows for more comfort, more choice, and more peace.

Honoring someone’s wishes means something different to everyone.

Sometimes it looks like a favorite meal shared one last time.

Sometimes it’s hearing a familiar song, reconnecting with a loved one, or finding peace in a quiet moment.

At Bridges Hospice, our Personalized Patient Goals (PPG) Program is designed to honor what matters most to each individual, beyond medical care.

The PPG Program allows our team to focus on:
• Personal goals and meaningful moments
• Comfort that goes beyond physical needs
• Emotional and spiritual peace for patients and families

Because end-of-life care isn’t just about treatment, it’s about legacy, dignity, and choice.

We’re honored to help patients live fully, in the ways that matter most to them.

💙 Your Choice. Our Privilege.

• Support for both patients and families
• Focused on comfort, not fear
• About living fully, with compassion and choice

Helpful Reminders for Visiting a Loved One in Hospice

When you visit someone you love in hospice care, the little things can make the biggest difference.
Swipe through for simple, meaningful tips to bring comfort, connection, and calm during your visit.

💛 Go slow. Give them time to wake, respond, or settle.
💬 Speak softly. Your voice can bring reassurance, even if they can’t respond.
🪑 Sit beside them. Presence matters more than conversation.
🌼 Bring familiar comforts. Music, scents, or a soft blanket can soothe.
🤲 Follow their cues. Some days they may want to talk, other days, quiet is best.
💙 Take care of yourself, too. Visiting can be emotional. It’s okay to step out and breathe.

Share this with someone who may need it, and come back to it whenever you’re preparing for a visit.

Your choice. Our privilege.

Honoring those who served means more than gratitude, it means understanding their unique needs. 🇺🇸

Many veterans in Western Pennsylvania carry experiences that have shaped their lives in profound ways. Through the Veterans Administration and the We Honor Veterans (WHV) Program, hospice teams across the country are trained to provide care that recognizes those experiences and supports veterans with dignity, respect, and understanding.

Bridges Hospice is proud to participate in the We Honor Veterans Program, a partnership that helps us better serve those who bravely served our country.

Through this initiative, we:

- Provide veteran-centered care with specialized training
- Offer meaningful pinning ceremonies
- Address service-related needs and benefits
- Support families with compassionate, informed guidance
- Ensure every veteran feels seen, valued, and honored

Our commitment is simple: no veteran should face the end of life alone or unrecognized.

If you or someone you love is a veteran in need of support, we’re here to help walk with you, every step of the way. 💛

This season, we’re especially grateful for the people who make Bridges Hospice feel like family. 💛

Our holiday party was a chance to pause, laugh, and celebrate the compassion our team brings to patients and families every single day.

Your hearts are what make our care so meaningful.
