Our Hospice Mission

Tranquility Hospice began with the story of losing a beloved family member and experiencing firsthand the challenges that can occur when hospice care does not meet a family's expectations. Following that life-altering experience, we chose to combine our personal and professional expertise in the medical field to create a different kind of hospice experience in Delaware, Ohio.

We pride ourselves on being a freestanding hospice provider in our community that is not tied to another healthcare system. Everything we do is guided by our commitment to providing patients and their families with the compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care they deserve.

The Tranquility Difference

At Tranquility Hospice, we move at a different pace. Full-time employment does not mean routinely working hours off the clock. We recognize that when healthcare professionals feel rushed or unsupported, it becomes more difficult to provide the level of care our patients deserve.

Our commitment to excellent patient care begins with creating a positive work environment for our employees. We are dedicated to supporting our team, encouraging open conversations about how we can continuously improve, and maintaining a safe and respectful workplace.

If this approach to hospice care sounds meaningful to you, we would love to have a conversation about how you could become part of the Tranquility family.
