About OCHH and its mission

The goal for Our Community House of Hope (OCHH) is to provide the highest quality end-of-life care at no cost to families. Below, is information from their website about OCHH and its importance to the local community.
 "Our Community House of Hope (OCHH) was founded in the fall of 2005 by a group of healthcare professionals and community leaders who came together, all with the common vision of helping the growing numbers of terminally ill in their communities. Each of these founding members have had personal and professional experience with death and dying that has changed them and made them aware of the need to help the many alone and suffering people who need a compassionate caring home as they face their last days. The OCHH committee members are community leaders who are committed and motivated to make this hospice house a reality."
