Event Sponsor: AIM Hospice was founded right here in Rockport. AIM's name is abbreviated from Mrs. Kathleen Akin, Ms. Frances Iles and Ms. Mary Murphy. These women firmly believed in the concept of hospice comfort in your own home with friends and family. In 1986, Akin, Iles and Murphy formed a hospice program to serve Rockport and it's surrounding areas.
The lack of sufficient funding is an ongoing hardship which is relieved, in part, by grants and donations. We sincerely appreciate the support given by individuals and the community. Your generosity has helped keep hospice services available to all who need them, regardless of their ability to pay.
AIM Hospice's goals are to provide utmost quality of services to our patients, families and the community. We believe it is your right to make decisions regarding end-of-life care. Hospice is about increasing the quality of days remaining, in your own environment with loved ones and the support of our compassionate hospice staff.
Referrals or request for information may be directed to the AIM Hospice Office at 361-729-0507 or by visiting our Office located at 703 E. Concho St, Rockport, TX 78382.
