Receiving an end-of-life diagnosis is never easy but often can be the beginning of an amazing chapter in the life of the patient and their loved ones – that of quality hospice services.

Since 1980 Benton Hospice Service has been a leading provider in the Willamette Valley of hospice services that provides a supportive approach to end-of-life care that emphasizes control of pain and other symptoms – as well as providing emotional, spiritual, and psychological support to patients and their loved ones – so that the patients remaining life is lived with dignity and in comfort.

Like with any business the success of Benton Hospice Service lies in their people.  “We have a lot of people to help people come into the world and we have to have people who are able to help people leave the world”, said Gary DeLander, past Board Chairman, “and that is a really unique skillset”.

According to Kelly Beard, Executive Director of Benton Hospice Service, “whether you are a care giver caring for someone with a serious illness, or whether you or your family member are experiencing and end-of-life disease, or you are grieving the loss of a loved one, at Benton Hospice we want to make sure that you’re not alone.”

Benton Hospice Service is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization and, like any other business, growth is always a concern.  Over the past decade Benton Hospice Service has expanded their existing facility once and had to secure a second location to house their own operations which include more than fifty (50) employees. Working to help solve the real estate needs of area non-profit organizations has been one of the core principals at SVN Commercial Advisors. 

“One of the reasons we chose to work with SVN is their resume of helping other non-profit organizations throughout the valley” stated Beard.  “We have a number of needs and it was important we chose a real estate partner in this journey who had been down this road before.  They are helping insure Benton Hospice Service will have the right facilities in the long-term to accomplish our mission of providing compassion, comfort and support to those in need throughout the communities we serve.”  

Benton Hospice Service is just another example of great people doing amazing things in our communities.  For more information about how you can be a part of this tremendous organization visit their website at bentonhospice.org
