Open Arms Hospice
|
Open Arms Hospice, a ministry of Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, provides the kind of care, support, and nurturing for patients and their families
that helps ease the suffering of a life-limiting disease. We never attempt to
cure the terminal patient, nor do we ever provide false hope. Rather, we provide
care beyond the cure to ensure that life is full and worthwhile until the end.
We provide both in-home care and inpatient care at the McCall Hospice House of
Greenville.
History of Open Arms HospiceOpen Arms Hospice is an established hospice program that has the distinction
of being the first hospice program in Greenville County. We began as two separate
programs - St. Francis Hospice, created in 1991, and Greenville Hospital System
Hospice, created in 1983.
In 2005, Greenville Hospital System and Bon Secours St. Francis Health System
identified the growing community need for hospice care. Embracing the strengths
of each program, Greenville Hospital System gifted its hospice program to St.
Francis and thus formed Open Arms Hospice, a ministry of the Bon Secours St. Francis
Health System.
Open Arms Hospice seeks to continue the tradition of both health systems and
the founding ministry of Bon Secours Ministries to provide comforting care to
those suffering a life-limiting illness.
