Big Bend Hospice

We inspire hope by positively impacting the way our community experiences serious illness or grief — one family at a time.

Our Mission For over 35 years, Big Bend Hospice has been inspiring hope by positively impacting the way our community experiences serious illness or grief – one family at a time. We have deep roots throughout our eight-county service, supporting individuals and their loved ones in the Big Bend. Our holistic approach is founded on providing quality healthcare for the whole person, including their physical, spiritual and emotional needs. We consider the patient’s entire family as the “unit of care”. We will help you and your family make choices about end-of-life issues and enable you to have greater control over these choices. Big Bend Hospice has become a nationally recognized healthcare institution with a major economic and community service footprint in our community. We operate in the following counties: Leon Franklin Gadsden Jefferson Liberty Madison Taylor Wakulla

Volunteers bring comfort and compassion to terminally ill patients and their caregivers in the patients’ homes or in care facilities. They offer companionship, relief time for caregivers, help with errands, transportation to appointments or a vigil presence for dying patients. Volunteers also help with organizational support such as administrative, special events and special projects.

Community volunteers are essential partners in the success of Big Bend Hospice. Offering your time in any of our volunteer positions supports our compassionate work with patients and families. By joining our volunteer family, you will experience many ways to give that are both meaningful and enjoyable. We hope you'll join us!
