Adventist St. Thomas Hospice

"While there was no purpose great enough for my son to have died, I was helped in that starting the hospice added meaning to his death. It really mattered that Tom lived." - Luci Svoboda

Hospice is a philosophy of care for the individual with a limited life expectancy. It emphasizes compassionate care, quality of life, and choices. It recognizes dying as a natural part of life. Named after a courageous 17-year-old cancer patient, Tom Svoboda, our Hospice program has been caring for and about people since 1980 and has grown from a volunteer program to a full-service, Medicare-certified Hospice and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

Adventist St. Thomas Hospice serves patients and families in the Chicago area counties of DuPage, Eastern Kane, Northern Will and Western Cook.

Mission Statement
