Hospice of the West

Hospice of the West is a hospice care provider founded in 2010, serving patients and families facing life-limiting illnesses across Central Arizona. The organisation's stated mission is to deliver quality of life at the end of life through clinical care, comfort, dignity and emotional support. It operates five office locations, in Phoenix, Mesa, Casa Grande, Prescott Valley and Tucson.

Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, aides, social workers and chaplains, who develop individualised care plans addressing the clinical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of each patient and family. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which shapes both the clinical model and the staffing it requires. Areas of work span hospice and palliative care, end-of-life clinical practice, interdisciplinary care planning, nursing and aide care, and psychosocial and spiritual support.

The company describes itself as mission-driven and patient-first, with an emphasis on compassion, dignity and respect, and on pairing clinical excellence with emotional connection. Team collaboration across professional disciplines is a central feature of the working environment, as is responsiveness to patients and families outside standard hours.
