A Message from CEO Clark Taylor

 I wish we’d had hospice sooner…”  I have lost count on the number of times I have had someone say this to me or one of our Hospice of Chattanooga team members. And many times we hear it weeks, months, and even years after their loved one experienced our care at the end of life. The statement is a compliment to the caring work of our staff, but it is also a lesson for others. A lesson that says too often a patient comes to us for only a matter of days when we could have been improving the quality of their life weeks or months earlier. When faced with a terminal diagnosis, it is never too early to talk to your doctor about when it will be appropriate to call in Hospice of Chattanooga.

Our mission is simple. We at Hospice of Chattanooga will take the time to listen, honor your choices, and walk with you through life’s journey. Our services, however, are comprehensive. We understand that coping with a life-limiting illness is challenging for everyone involved and that’s why we offer family focused care. Our team of compassionate hospice professionals provides more than medical support. We specialize in the emotional and spiritual issues associated with the end-of-life, as well.

I believe you will find a lot of helpful information about hospice care and the services we provide on this website. Still, we would love to have an opportunity to speak with your family one on one. Call the Hospice of Chattanooga main office at (423) 892-4289 to schedule a meeting with a member of our hospice care team today. As our families say, it is never too soon to learn more about hospice care.

Approaching the end of life is never easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. When the time comes, I hope you will turn to Hospice of Chattanooga. It would be a privilege to walk with you and your family on life’s journey.
