Our History

Locally, hospice care began in 1985 due to the efforts of community leaders in response to one woman’s struggle with cancer and her desire to remain at home until her death. Hospice & Community Care has seen similar stories played out over our 20 year history having served thousands of  patients and their families. Today, Hospice & Community Care serves residents of a six county area including York, Chester, Lancaster Cherokee, Fairfield and Union counties in South Carolina. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, Hospice & Community Care currently utilizes a vast team of professional staff and over 250 community volunteers to  compassionately  care for more than 100 patients each day. In 2008 Hospice & Community Care moved on the Hospice & Community Care campus in Rock Hill which houses the Community Building and the Wayne T. Patrick Hospice House.
