LSS Hospice Care
LSS Hospice Care is a full-service hospice that provides holistic care for people with life-limiting illnesses and supportive services for their families.  It is an option that may be considered when an individual decides to no longer undergo medical treatments that emphasize a cure.  The focus of all services provided are pain control and symptom
management for the person receiving care, and social, psychological, and spiritual services for that individual and his or her family.  

LSS Hospice Care specializes in faith-driven care that emphasizes making the remaining time of life comfortable.
