Values and Guiding Principles

Hospice is rooted in the conviction that everyone has a right to quality end-of-life care. The Hospice of Charleston Foundation is committed to building the community's capacity to ensure everyone has access to that right. In all aspects of our work, we believe in:

• Truthfulness and integrity with the communities we serve.
• Ethical and wise stewardship of the financial resources that our donors and supporters entrust to us.
• The vital and integral role that volunteers play in support of the hospice concept.
• Embracing the communities we serve through education and outreach to ensure that patients, families and health care providers can make informed choices about end-of-life care.
