Trellis Supportive Care is North Carolina’s original nonprofit Hospice and palliative care provider and has been serving the North Carolina Piedmont area with kind and compassionate care for more than 40 years. Their efforts support patients and family members with comfort, dignity and peace of mind when it matters most. Besides vital medical needs, this care also enhances the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of all involved. In addition to in-home care, Trellis also provides services to nursing home residents, assisted living communities, group and rest homes, and at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home. Counseling and bereavement services are also freely available to anyone in our community coping with a loss.
“I have seen the impact that Trellis has in the community first-hand, through numerous members of my family with end-of-life care, as well as many other services and therapies. Being able to support and raise money to continue to improve the lives of countless families and individuals has always been important to me. The Derby is always a fun event to celebrate and a great way to ensure that others can continue to have the same experience my family has had.”
~ Richard Stockton, Leadership Council Member
