FOUR SEASONS TOP HOSPICE PROVIDER IN STATE

Four Seasons–Compassion for Life has again been recognized as the top hospice provider in North Carolina in terms of how well the organization served its local community. Four Seasons has been amongst the top providers of care in terms of the percentage of patients served since 2004. In 2010, Four Seasons served 65% of all deaths in Henderson County, the greatest percentage of any hospice in North Carolina. The state average is 38.26%, according to a report from the Carolina’s Center for Hospice & End of Life Care.


Chris Comeaux, president/CEO of Four Seasons, said, “This percentage is one of the best indicators of how well a hospice organization is serving those who need its services. The vision of Four Seasons is to provide the best end-of-life care to all those who need it in Western North Carolina.”

Four Seasons is a non-profit organization led by a dedicated team of health care professionals, social workers, spiritual care professionals and volunteers. Four Seasons currently serves patients in Henderson, Buncombe, Macon, Jackson, Transylvania counties and surrounding areas.
