Rockbridge Area Hospice started at a kitchen table in 1983. Four women (Marion Brown, Charlotte Gunn, Helen Hodges and Barbara Tucker) began what is now the Rockbridge Area Hospice. From one patient, and income from bake sales, their effort has grown to support all of Lexington, Buena Vista, Rockbridge County and the surrounding areas. Our mission is that Rockbridge Area Hospice will treat, comfort, and provide supportive care for terminally ill patients and their families to enable them to live life fully. Rockbridge Area Hospice is available for you, your family and caregivers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We provide care and support to help you live your life as comfortably and meaningfully as possible.
