Franklin Hospice | Quality end-of-life care and grief support experts

Learn more about the services we provide.

Our staff and volunteers are honored to answer the call of our founders’ early mission. Hospice was created to lend support to our neighbors who are facing a terminal illness and their families.

Hospice is a continuum of health care considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care when facing a life-limiting illness. It does not mean you are giving up. It means you are taking control.

Thanks to the vision, dedication, and commitment of local business person, Neal Glessner, Hospice of Washington County will be building a hospice house in memory of Neal’s mom.

Whether you want to make a donation in memory or honor of a loved one, contribute to an existing fund, or participate in one of our annual events, there are many ways to support Hospice.
