HospiceCare of Broward County was originally established in 1981. Due to the expansion of our facilities to include Dade and Monroe counties in 2001, the name was changed to HospiceCare of Southeast Florida, Inc to incorporate the new geographical area in which it serves.
Support is provided to their families and significant others regardless of ability to pay in Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe County. Susan has been a driving force to insure that hospice care is available to all patients who wish to spend the remaining days of their life in the comfort of their own home.
