Our story
Three nurses, a borrowed office and forty years on the bay.
Our story
When hospice was still new in Texas, three nurses from Spohn's oncology floor started visiting dying patients at home on their days off. They borrowed an office near the bayfront and named it for the lagoon south of town.
From the first week, half our families preferred Spanish. Every nurse we've hired since can care for a family in either language.
Hurricanes taught us to plan. Since 2017, every patient has a written storm plan: medicines, oxygen, power and where they'll go if the bay rises.
A grieving daughter asked if she could leave her father's photo in our family room for Día de los Muertos. Now hundreds of families add photos each November.

A hospice nurse answers every hour in English or Spanish. Nothing is decided until you're ready.
