“We
take life for granted, on our day-to-day journey. Simple things
and events become second nature to us until we are reminded of
our own human frailty and eventual destiny... DEATH.”

Hospice comes from the word “hospitality.” In times past, it was
a way station for the wounded, sick and weary. Today, it is a
valued service for the terminally ill and their family. Hospice
cares for the physical, psychological, social, financial, and
spiritual needs of the patient and their family in the comfort
and privacy of their own home.
Our Beginnings
In 1976, four dedicated founding members set to work to make the
dream of providing service to the dying in southeast Texas a reality.
And by 1979, sixteen patients had been served. Since its humble
beginnings, the Southeast Texas Hospice has grown to include a
governing board of twelve area civic leaders, sixteen staff, and
over sixty-five volunteers who serve over two hundred patient
families per year.
As a private, nonprofit, non-governmental organization, the Southeast
Texas Hospice is dedicated to caring for terminally ill patients
and their families.
