Offering support to patients and families
John had been caring for his wife, Naomi, 24/7. When it was time for hospice care, the Haven Hospice staff took care of both of them. “They were simply wonderful. They did everything for us, and were as much concerned about me as they were for her…They know what you’re going through and they can’t do enough for you.”
