Our Mission
Statement
Heartstrings Hospice is committed to caring for South
Carolinians regardless of sex, race, color or creed, who have an active,
progressive and advanced illness. Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor
postpones death. We recognize that our patients, in addition to their physical
symptoms, have emotional, social and spiritual needs which we are committed to
addressing with our multi-discipline team of healthcare professionals, highly
trained in the provision of hospice care.
Heartstrings Hospice is
dedicated to maintaining open and clear communication pathways with our
patients, their families and our professional colleagues. We are further
resolved to being an educational resource for both healthcare professionals and
the public through formal and informal education programming.
The Philosophy of Hospice
Hospice began as a
humanitarian movement whose purpose was to improve the quality of life for
those who were terminally ill. This remains the guiding spirit of the modern
day Hospice. Aware of the complexity of the human spirit and the
multidimensional needs of the patient, family and/or caregivers, the modern day
hospice blends traditional medical care with specific modalities developed to
meet the needs of this special group of people.
Hospice care is
centered on the patient and family/caregiver as an individual unit. Its goal is
to provide those essential ingredients which will enhance the life of the
patient/family/caregiver unit by providing medical, nursing, psychosocial and
spiritual care and support.
