What People Are Saying About Hospice

- "Patients do better when they get hospice care earlier, and more people are receiving hospice care because more patients, physicians, and family members realize its value."

- At the VNA Hospice House, Annie could stay comfortably every night and Paul was never alone. Even, when he passed, Paul was surrounded by loved ones, including, a VNA music therapist singing “Ave Maria.”
  
  Annie Conti
- “The VNA counselors treat you like family. If they see you’re upset, they’ll give you a hug. That doesn’t sounds like a big thing – it is a big thing.”
