Specialties

We provide compassionate End of Life Care, in the ways of Catholic teachings. All cares are provided at the patients’ home.

History

Established in 2006.

Sacred Heart Hospice was founded in 2006 with the expectation that Sacred Heart Hospice will be the preferred provider of hospice care and palliative care, providing physical, emotional and spiritual services to all patients and their family members within the Phoenix and surrounding areas in Arizona.

Sacred Heart Hospice is a living tribute to the fathers of our Chief Administrative Officer and our Medical Director. Both men, through their lives and their deaths, left a profound sense of grief, while stirring in each of their children, a passion to serve those who would follow the paths of their fathers; to insure death comes on each person’s own unique terms. Safe, free of pain, in the presence of loved ones, and most importantly, in their home.

Business Owner

«Hospice helped our family during my father’s last twenty-​three months of life. My father suffered from Lou Gehrig’s disease. The hospice nurse and nurse’s aid taught my sister, who was the primary caregiver how to take care of him as he was bedridden. Because of their teachings, my dad had no bed ulcers, no infections, and he passed gracefully like he had wished: at home, in his bed, and with family. He wanted to have Marimba played when he died and that is exactly what we did. It was beautiful.»
