Hospice Tradition of Community and Caring
Hospice of Holland was founded by a concerned group of Holland area residents who shared a passionate commitment to start a hospice program.
With the help of many individuals, and the support of the directors of Holland Hospital and the local chapter of the American Cancer society, incorporation papers were signed in April of 1981. Policies and programs were quickly developed, a volunteer curriculum was written, and the first 20 volunteers were trained.

“Chris was a wonderful man who loved his family. He led a full and interesting life. At the end of his life, Hospice of Holland provided us with the information, care, and emotional support which allowed us to live our lives fully with Chris right to the end. Chris started palliative care about six months before he passed away.
He was afraid, at first, to enter any sort of palliative/hospice care, as he originally believed hospice was a death sentence and might be seen as him giving up. Palliative care provided us a framework of care that was like a safety net to help us prepare for the future.”
