"I have always regarded the Hospice as a terrific place and one that provides such a crucial service on the North Shore. It reminds us that nobody needs to die in unrelenting pain."

Welcome to North Shore Hospice!

Making each day a good day for people who have terminal illness and their families.

North Shore Hospice is committed to making each day the best day possible. We know that time is the most valuable thing in a person's life, especially when that time is very limited. That is why we try to help our patients and their families have the best possible time with their loved ones, regardless of how long or short that time might be. It also means that we will be there for those who are left behind after their loved one has died.
