Guiding Principles

Our Mission & Values

Our Mission

We provide deeply compassionate individualized hospice and palliative care that empowers patients and families, honors their beliefs and values, and enhances comfort and dignity.

Our Values

We choose to help

We are dedicated to service to others – our patients, their caregivers, and our colleagues – to deliver physical, emotional, and spiritual support.

 

Integrity matters

We follow through on commitments and do whatever it takes to be there for each other, for our partners, and for patients and their families.

 

We build and nurture trust

We value the privilege of the work we do and honor the trust others place in us. We rely on the expertise, professionalism, and heart of our teammates so we can bring our whole selves in service to our purpose.

 

We are naturally creative and resourceful

Our team always finds a way. We rely on each individual’s expertise and relationships to build collaborative solutions, often innovating in service to emerging patient and community needs.

 

Empowerment is the heart of our work

We believe that the power of choice in one’s care can restore one’s sense of well-being, acceptance, and peace. We honor the individuality and humanity of each patient, recognizing that agency and customized care based on one’s values, beliefs, and wishes can bring comfort and dignity to a challenging moment in life.

 

Purpose fuels our resilience

We share in the joy of our work’s meaning and impact. Being in service to others in this sacred moment fulfills and re- energizes us, enabling us to be present and resourceful for every new patient.

We all become family

Love and compassion are our center point. We treat our colleagues, partners, patients, and families with the same care we bring to our own families.

 

Why We Chose the Butterfly…

Butterflies are often seen as powerful symbols of transformation and spiritual growth.

The Hawaiian Kamehameha butterfly "Pulelehua" is a symbol of healing and transformation.

Many cultures also consider butterflies as symbols of hope, rebirth, freedom, love & the human soul.

Butterflies are often felt as a message from a loved one who has died ~ a manifestation of their eternal spirit in the physical world.

When we lose a loved one we all are transformed.

It is our honor to walk alongside you on this journey.
