Hospice of Chattanooga

Hospice of Chattanooga Dedicated to the belief that no one should reach the end of life alone, afraid or in pain, and that

Hospice of Chattanooga began in 1981 as an all-volunteer agency. Today, it is the community's oldest, largest, not-for-profit, United Way-supported hospice. We are specialists in end-of-life care, with full-time physicians on staff certified in palliative medicine to manage pain and symptoms. Medicare covers the full cost of hospice care for terminally ill individuals who choose the hospice benefit and agree to stop seeking curative treatments. Most private insurance plans also cover hospice care and reimbursements vary by plan. As a not-for-profit hospice provider, Hospice of Chattanooga never turns away a terminally-ill individual because of an inability to pay for our services. We rely on support from the community and donations made to The Hospice of Chattanooga Foundation subsidize our non-reimbursed care. We provide quality end of life care to 18 counties in Tennessee and North Georgia. In Tennessee, we serve Hamilton, Bradley, Polk, McMinn, Meigs, Rhea, Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Grundy, and Marion counties. In Georgia serving Catoosa, Whifield, Murray, Gordon, Floyd, Chattooga, Walker, and Dade counties. We at Hospice of Chattanooga will take the time to listen, honor your choices, and walk with you through life's journey.

Meet Stephanie, one of our RN Case Managers from our Jasper team. She shares with us her hospice why.

“I chose hospice long before I ever worked in it. I chose hospice the day I had to make the hardest decision of my life to place my own mother, and later my father, on hospice care.

For so long, the word hospice felt heavy, final, and frightening. But when I walked through it personally, I learned that hospice isn’t about giving up. It’s about giving more, more comfort, more dignity, more time to simply love without fighting.

I saw firsthand the blessing it can be. I watched a team come together, nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains, each one caring not just for my parents, but for us as a family. They brought peace into one of the most painful seasons of my life.

That experience planted something in me I couldn’t shake. It became a calling, a purpose, a way to give back what was given to me.

So now, I serve with that same heart. Hospice is not just my job. It’s my ministry, my honor, and my calling.” ❤️

Stephanie, our Hospice of Chattanooga team is thankful for all that you do!

World Kindness Day reminds us of the extraordinary power of even the smallest gestures. A kind word, a gentle touch, or a listening ear can bring comfort in life’s hardest moments. In hospice care, kindness is at the heart of everything we do, from easing patients’ pain to sitting with families in their grief. Today, we celebrate the everyday acts of compassion that make the world a little brighter for those who need it most.

It’s Nurse Practitioner Week, and we are proud to recognize the vital role our NPs play in providing expert, compassionate care. Nurse Practitioners bring advanced clinical knowledge and a dedication to helping patients live with dignity and comfort. In hospice, their care extends beyond managing symptoms; they support families, offer guidance in decision making, and provide reassurance during uncertain times.

Thank you to our incredible NP’s who are true leaders in patient-centered care. Share a picture in the comments of a nurse practitioner or your nurse practitioner celebrations.
