Your Gift. Their Legacy.
At Care of the Piedmont, our mission is to enrich the lives of those with advanced illnesses.
Our Care of the Piedmont Foundation provides financial support to the pursuit of this endeavor – which provides innovation and leadership to the areas of hospice, palliative care, and grief support to those living in Greenwood, Laurens, Edgefield, Abbeville, McCormick, Newberry and Saluda counties.
As the area’s only non-profit hospice organization, funds donated to us by our generous supporters go directly to serving and sustaining the mission of our organization.
Here, you have the powerful opportunity to support our patients and their family members through medical support, counseling, 24/7 access to licensed clinical social workers, chaplains, grief groups and camps, and more.
Your care makes an incredible impact.
Make a difference today.
