To better support our clients and community, Faith and Hope Hospice in Pasadena CA is developing several online support groups. We are currently conducting a survey to understand the needs of the people we serve. This will help us provide relevant services, including topics of interest, duration of group, days & times to meet and a few other details. This is another way we are making Faith & Hope Hospice the best hospice Los Angeles has to offer.
