"Just as a song can touch your heart so too does Hospice and it's wonderful caring staff and volunteers. My support and aroha to you all."

North Shore Hospice is committed to making each day the best day possible. We know that time is the most valuable thing in a person's life, especially when that time is very limited. That is why we try to help our patients and their families have the best possible time with their loved ones, regardless of how long or short that time might be. It also means that we will be there for those who are left behind after their loved one has died.
