Trellis Supportive Care, formerly Hospice & Palliative CareCenter, is one of the Triad's largest non-profit organizations. Our staff of highly qualified, compassionate professionals carry out one of the greatest missions imaginable. It is our honor to care for our patients and families, and we know what we do day-in and day-out is a privilege.

Our team, including our many talented and gracious volunteers, is often referred to as ordinary people doing remarkable work. We take great pride in providing help, hope and support to our patients and families when they need it most. We also take pride in going above and beyond to serve our families as well as the community at large.

We know that no two patients are alike and thus we tailor our care to meet the goals and wishes of those we serve.

Please feel free to call or visit any of our team members at any of our offices if you want to learn more about our specialized care, or if you simply want to get to know us better. We have offices in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County, Mocksville/Davie County, Walnut Cove/Stokes County, and Salisbury/Rowan County as well as our KBR Hospice Home in Winston-Salem.
