More About The Connecticut Hospice
We Are America's First Hospice
In 1974, The Connecticut Hospice became America’s first hospice. Since then we have continued to set the national standard for home and inpatient hospice care and have become a leader in palliative care.
We currently employ over 200 people and collaborate with over 50 Connecticut hospitals, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home care providers.
Our Mission
We honor patients and families affected by advanced or life-limiting illnesses with integrity, support, and compassion.
