Hospice of Acadiana, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Louisiana as a non-profit organization in March 1983 and began providing patient care in February 1984. Since that time, we have cared for over 14,000 individuals with a life-threatening condition and their families.

 

Hospice of Acadiana, Inc. has the longest record of continuous service of any hospice in Louisiana. We are a certified provider of the Medicare hospice benefit, the first hospice in the state to receive such certification.

In December 1990, we were designated as an official point of light for community service by then president George Bush. In 1998, Hospice of Acadiana was chosen by the Better Business Bureau as the Outstanding Non-Profit Organization in Acadiana, and for the past ten years we have been selected as the Number One Volunteer Agency in Acadiana.
