Ambiance

At South County Hospital we recognize the importance of the environment during this time of a patient’s life. To add a greater sense of peacefulness, our hospice rooms are located in a quiet, light-filled area of the hospital.

Like all inpatient rooms here, our hospice rooms are private with en suite baths. They are also larger than our other rooms and include a pull-out couch that can accommodate a loved one for an overnight stay.

Gratitude comes in many forms

Take a moment to express your own appreciation by sharing your story, with a simple thank you, by nominating a caregiver, or with a gift of support.
