WHY WE BELEIVE HOSPICE OF HOLLAND IS YOUR BEST CHOICE

Best hospice for you and your family? Hospice of Holland is not a place, but rather, a special way of caring for patients and family members facing the end-of-life of a loved one. It is an anxious time, a time of unknown, often accompanied by confusion, fear, and pain, both physical and mental. Yet hospice isn’t about letting go, or walking away. It’s about living, and loving. And making every day count.

Perhaps there is no other time in your life, or the life of a loved one, when experience is more beneficial. Hospice of Holland is the most experienced hospice provider in West Michigan. Our level of care is nationally recognized as among the highest; our team is comprehensive and patient-focused; and our continued growth is an indication of our growing number of recommendations and referrals from family members and healthcare providers.
