Program History:

More than a facility or center, Good Shepherd Hospice is a concept of care that addresses the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families.

Good Shepherd Hospice opened its first office in Oklahoma City in 1995. We have a regional presence serving Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Texas. We have touched the lives of more than 20,000 patients and 50,000 family members through their time of need.
