About Big Bend Hospice

Founded in 1983 as the first non-profit hospice in Tallahassee, Big Bend Hospice remains grounded in its Big Bend region, serving families across Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, and Wakulla counties. The organization offers personalized care and exceptional support, ensuring loved ones receive the dignity and respect they deserve. Big Bend Hospice is CHAP-accredited, demonstrating its commitment to the highest quality standards. A dedicated team of skilled nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, music therapists, and volunteers work together to address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs through pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, bereavement services, and volunteer companionship. Care is available wherever you call home, including in-home care, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and specialized inpatient units like the Margaret Z. Dozier House and First Commerce Center for Compassionate Care. Big Bend Hospice also actively collaborates to improve end-of-life care across the Big Bend region through educational initiatives and advocacy for patient rights.
