History

Founded in 1981 as Hospice of Polk County, our Medicare-certified, not-for-profit, free-standing agency has continuously, since 1981, provided care for individuals, and their families, who live with serious and terminal illness, grief and loss. In 1995, we changed our name to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills to reflect our service to patients and families in an expanded service area.
