Hospice
At Allegiance Hospice, Jackson County’s only non-profit hospice, we focus on enhancing quality of life, providing comfortable care and managing symptoms while providing support for the patient and their family. Hospice enables you to make decisions about the course of your care when a cure is no longer an option.
The goal of Allegiance Hospice is to allow patients with advanced chronic illness to remain in the comfort of home regardless of where they call home. The hospice team members are experts in their field and will be there for you and your loved ones during the final stages of life. Hospice care is available both in your home and our new Hospice Home.
A not-for-profit organization certified by the Joint Commission, we have served more than 6,400 patients since 1981.
