Eds House Northumberland Hospice Care

"A hospice is to allow for dignity in death. Many would like to die at home but, particularly in our aging society, the caregiver is not always capable. Hospice is a community, not a building, where there are those who care for the dying and their family not only with skill but also with great empathy and heart."

– Dr. Bob and Ann Scott
