St. Anthony's de Greeff Hospice House was built
to fulfill Christ's commandment to care for the sick, particularly those who have
no one to care for them.
This special house, the only one of its kind in St. Louis,
serves terminally ill individuals. These individuals have the same physical, emotional
and medical needs as traditional hospice patients, but they do not have a caregiver
able to care for them at home. Perhaps their caregiver is elderly or too exhausted
to care for them any longer. Perhaps there is no caregiver or resources to hire
outside help. In such cases, the Fern and Russell de Greeff Hospice House is their
home.
Location
The de Greeff Hospice House, located on three and one-half acres of wooded property
on the campus of St. Anthony's Medical Center, provides a secure, home-like setting.
