History:
Hospice of Southern Maine was established through the merger of Hope Garden of York County and Horizon House of Cumberland County; each organization shared the vision of constructing the area's first freestanding residential hospice facility. Hospice of Southern Maine (HSM) seeks to fill the gaps in end-of-life care in southern Maine by providing the people and families of York and Cumberland Counties with a full range of hospice services - including the area's first inpatient hospice facility and comprehensive home-based hospice services.
