Nathan Adelson Hospice, the trusted partner in hospice care, is the largest non-profit hospice in Southern Nevada, caring for an average of 450 patients daily. In 1978, Nathan Adelson Hospice became a Southern Nevada home care hospice with the mission to provide patients and their loved ones with comprehensive end-of-life care and influence better care for all in the community. In 1983, Nathan Adelson Hospice opened the area’s first inpatient hospice, and today the hospice is recognized as a national model for superior hospice care.
The mission of the hospice is to be the Hospice of Choice, the Employer of Preference and a Training Center of Excellence. Its vision is simple: no one should end the journey of life alone, afraid or in pain.
The hospice also is home to The Center for Compassionate Care, a non-profit counseling agency providing individual, group and family counseling services to address grief, loss and issues related to surviving life-threatening illnesses. For more information, visit www.nah.org.
