Paige, 8, a student at Shady Hills Elementary School in Pasco County, was one of 44 young children who attended HPH Hospice’s (HPH) Children’s Assistance Program (CAP) bereavement camp on Thursday, June 10, at the New Port Richey Recreation Center. Paige felt better after talking with counselors, HPH volunteers, and children her own age. Paige’s grandfather died under HPH care about a year ago and she has been receiving grief counseling at no charge through the CAP. This is one of three camps HPH will be holding for bereaved elementary age children this month. Special thanks to the United Way of Pasco County, the Wachovia Wells Fargo Foundation, other businesses, community organizations and individuals for their support of the CAP.

HPH Hospice’s dedicated staff and volunteers are your friends and neighbors. We’re committed individuals who share an extraordinary expertise and passion for providing care, comfort and support to individuals affected by a life-limiting illness. The HPH Hospice team serves all of Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties and sees patients wherever they call “home.” Usually, home is in the comfort of one’s private residence, a nursing home or an assisted living facility. However, HPH Hospice, formerly known as Hernando-Pasco Hospice, has beautiful Hospice Houses in Hudson, Dade City, Brooksville and Lecanto, and Hospice Care Centers in New Port Richey, Hudson, Dade City, Brooksville and Inverness that are designed to ensure the best possible hospice experience for you and your loved one.
Although HPH Hospice is continually growing and changing to meet the needs of its diverse communities, we still practice many of the same core philosophies upon which our not-for-profit organization was founded in 1984. Anybody who needs the services of HPH Hospice and resides in our service area of Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties will receive the highest quality palliative care regardless of their ability to pay. Our physicians still make house calls and our hospice nurses travel day or night to be by a patient’s bedside. You’ll always speak with a friendly, knowledgeable HPH Hospice nurse when you call and receive the prompt assistance that you deserve. HPH Hospice doesn’t just care for its patients. Rather, we care for the entire family and help grieving adults, teens and children through our bereavement program.
HPH Hospice, peace of mind comes with knowing that we’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week and that you’ll be treated like family. We honor and uphold our patients’ rights to make their own choices and respect their individuality. We believe in upholding one’s dignity. After all, our patients and families have paid HPH Hospice the highest honor by allowing us into their lives. What greater privilege could there possibly be?
