Your community hospice

Hospice of the Valley has a 40 year legacy of caring for our community. Many of our programs are for everyone—not just our patients and families. We invite you to attend our mindfulness classes, no-cost grief support sessions, special workshops and educational presentations. If you're struggling to understand dementia or want to create a living will, we can help.

Our speakers present to community, civic, business and professional groups. Topics include hospice and palliative care, dementia care and living wills. Talks are given by staff and trained volunteers.

For information or to schedule a talk, call (602) 287-7008 or email Speakers Bureau
