Community Support and Outreach
Community Engagement and Support
Community engagement is at the heart of what we do. By nurturing relationships with our neighbors across western North Carolina, we strive to improve health outcomes and make our community a better place to live.


Community Presentations: Building Knowledge and Spreading Awareness
Community presentations serve as the foundation of our outreach efforts. Through these presentations, we educate our neighbors about palliative medicine and hospice care options, empowering them to make informed healthcare decisions.
Our presentations can be customized for educational institutions, nonprofits, civic groups and other organizations. Examples of topics we explore include:
- Myths and misconceptions about hospice care
- How palliative medicine can benefit patients with chronic illnesses
- History and governing laws of hospice care
- Living wills and healthcare power of attorney documentation
- Physical changes to expect as we age
If you are interested in scheduling a community presentation, call 828.466.0466 or contact us online.

Collaborations with Faith Organizations
We deeply value our partnerships with faith organizations of all denominations, including churches, synagogues, and temples, with a special focus on African American faith communities. These groups provide invaluable support to our patients and their families, ensuring they receive the spiritual solace they need during difficult times.
