San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care (SDHPC) -- the oldest and largest organization of its kind in San Diego County with 30 years of service -- seeks to prevent and relieve suffering and promote quality of life by providing "compassionate care" to patients of all ages and their families.
The nonprofit believes that no one should die feeling alone, and no one should live in pain or fear.
"Relief from suffering focuses on the whole patient, not just the specific illness," said Kathleen Jones, vice president and chief financial officer of SDHPC.
