Our Growing Legacy
We have a history of caring for families in northwest Georgia. Established in 1990, we were the first provider of end-of-life care in our community.
Today, Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center Heyman Hospice Care remains the only hospital-based, not-for-profit provider of hospice services in the area.
Our programs are continually growing to incorporate such added services as special care and recognition for veterans, planning and assistance with pet care, grief support, bereavement counseling and semiannual memorial services.
