WHITE ORCHID HOSPICE

As a youth, our founder Stephen, dealt with the frustration, feelings of hopefulness, and the stress of serious illness watching his father's untimely demise. Stephen's ather was a Air Force war veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) turned to alcohol to numb the pain. Alcoholism, a disease that runs prevalent in his family, led to his father developing Cirrhosis of the Liver and later succumbing to the dreadful disease. His father's sister became his full-time caregiver. Stephen watched as his Aunt made huge sacrifices to care for his father and try to comfort him in his last moments. The event was traumatic on everyone involved and took a huge toll on the family. His family didn't understand the Hospice benefit and was not aware of it. This assistance would have made a world of difference to his family and his father and could have possible saved or extended his life... Their words, born from personal experiences, reflect the solace and understanding we offer..
