As of November 17, 2003 Good Shepherd Hospice has announced the development of its first web site.  The development was a group effort involving contributions from all areas of the company.  The site address is goodshepherdhospice.chsli.org and is readily available for patients, their families, business partners, and other interested persons to learn more about our organization.

Good Shepherd Hsopice is a division of Catholic Health Services of Long Island.  The agency is one of the preferred providers for the CHS hospitals and associated entities.  

Hospice is a philosophy of care, not a specific place.  Although Hospice services may take place in a hospital, skilled nursing facility or an assisted living residence, care is most often given in the patient’s or family member’s home.  Hospice care is focused on patient comfort in an environment that affirms life and dignity.  It includes a whole network of professionals and services coordinated by a team of professional caregivers working in conjunction with the patient’s primary care physician.  This multidisciplinary approach ensures the delivery of high quality physical, psychological and spiritual care throughout the entire process.  

With hospice, nobody ever has to feel that they are alone.  We offer ongoing outreach, educational and supportive programs to the bereaved community.  Good Shepherd Hospice is accessible to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, lifestyle or economic status by calling our Admissions Department at (631) 474-4422.
