Willow Burn Hospice is a community-based health care provider in Durham, England, operating within the hospitals and health care sector. It offers end-of-life care, respite care, and day hospice services for people with limiting illnesses, with a focus on maintaining quality of life in challenging times, and it operates Hazelbrook, an at-home care service supported by a family support team. The organization was founded in 1989 by Irene Mortimer and Valerie Davison after identifying a local gap in hospice care, and its Day Hospice program was expanded in 1991 to include inpatient services. In 2018 Willow Burn partnered with Medstrom to supply beds and surfaces for a new hospice wing, with training and 24-hour clinical support to staff. In 2022 it launched a carers service and began accepting over-the-phone payments, reflecting ongoing service enhancements and accessibility.
