Our HospiceMissionTranquility Hospice starts with a story of the loss of a beloved family member and the unexpectedly poor experience we had with a hospice-care provider. After that life-altering event, we decided to take our personal and professional expertise in the medical field to start our own hospice care in Delaware, Ohio. We pride ourselves on being the only freestanding hospice provider in our community that is not tied down to any other health care system. Everything we do is driven by our goal of providing the best end-of-life care our patients deserve.

The Tranquility DifferenceHere at Tranquility, we move at a different pace. Full time does not mean putting in hours off the clock. We know that when we feel rushed, we do not do a great job, and we cannot expect that anyone else would either. In the pursuit of providing the best possible care for our patients, we recognize that we need to provide the best possible work environment for our employees. No matter what, we are committed to caring for our team, being open to conversations about how we can do things better, and to creating a safe working environment for our staff. If any of this sounds intriguing to you, let us know! We would love to have a conversation with you about how you would best fit into the Tranquility Family.
