Silverado Austin Hospice’s Bilingual Team

December 27, 2023

Language should not be a barrier between a dignified, comfortable end-of-life and those patients who need it, so Silverado Austin Hospice is proud to maintain a bilingual and bicultural team to meet the needs of Austin’s diverse ethnical makeup.

From admissions to our grief and bereavement counselor, we are able to meet our Hispanic and Latinx families where they are and provide amazing care.
