It remains the area’s sole nonprofit hospice and has a long-standing presence in Louisiana, having served more than 20,000 patients and their families. It serves terminally ill individuals and their families in Acadiana, addressing end-of-life care needs through quality of life support, bereavement services, and educational resources.
