Our Story

Hospice of Huntington was founded in 1982 by a senior nursing student from Marshall University who had a passion for hospice care. As the first Hospice in the State of West Virginia to become Medicare certified, we remain true to our Core Values, which are at the H.E.A.R.T. of our organization: Honesty, Empathy, Accountability, Respect and Trust.

We provide care for terminally ill patients who live in Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, and Wayne Counties in West Virginia and Lawrence County in Ohio. In our 28-year history, Hospice of Huntington has cared for more than 10,000 patients and their families. Today, we serve nearly 200 patients each day in their own homes, in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, or at the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House of Huntington, which opened in May of 2006.
