Hospice of Sweetwater County

Hospice of Sweetwater County "A Special Kind of Caring Since 1983" Hospice focuses on palliative (comfort) care, rather than cure.

A medically directed, specially trained team of professionals and volunteers strive to meet the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs identified by the patient and family so they can concentrate on living as fully as possible. A seven member volunteer Board of Director's governs our Medicare certified, Wyoming licensed hospice. They are historically well informed and knowledgeable about health care, legal, financial, ethical and regulatory issues. Along with quality care, these individuals assure accountability and transparency to our community and donors. President John Kennedy

"Disenfranchised grief is grief that people experience but that isnโ€™t generally recognized in society. Examples include pet loss, pregnancy loss, job lossโ€”many types of loss other than traditional notions of death."
