Hospice of Southern Maine

2025 Goals

Our primary goal is to provide comprehensive hospice care to people with a prognosis of six months or less to live, and their families. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, hospice aides, grief counselors, chaplains and volunteers. It focuses on meeting the patient’s end-of-life goals, including pain control, symptom management and emotional, social and spiritual support as needed or desired. Financial support from the community allows us to care for anyone needing our services, regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay. In the past 20 years, we have cared for more than 25,000 people in our community, at home or Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough.

Hospice of Southern Maine hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Anyone may attend and business sponsorship is welcomed. Sponsorships range from $250 to $10,000 and include marketing benefits.
