HistoryIn 1981, the hospice concept came to Galveston. A group of Galveston area citizens met to discuss the needs of terminally ill patients and their families. Their goal to restore dignity, and add value to the last months of patients' lives. The founding group became the first Board of Trustees, and for two years, worked to develop a charter, create by-laws, and raise money. In March, 1983, Galveston Hospice Group, Inc. offered help, hope and comfort to its first patient. In 1985, became one of the first 300 hospices in the United States to receive Medicare certification. The hospice continued to grow. In 1987, the organization was Hospice of Galveston County, Inc. By 1997, a strong team of dedicated professionals had been assembled and was now servicing Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers, Liberty and southeast Harris Counties. In order to reflect the organization's broad reach and team focus, the name was changed to the now-familiar Hospice Care Team, Inc.SpecialtiesFor over 30 years we have provided Help, Hope and Compassion to Hospice Patients and their families in the Galveston County area.
