Harvard families choose LifeChoice because we deliver measurable quality through both superior clinical outcomes and compassionate service delivery. Our accreditation through the Accreditation Commission for Health Care and membership in the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization ensure we meet rigorous industry standards while staying current with hospice innovations and methodologies.
