Missoula, Montana

Missoula, Montana is a place where community runs deep, and Stillwater Hospice is proud to serve individuals and families throughout Western Montana with compassionate hospice and palliative care services.

With the addition of our Missoula location, Stillwater Hospice has expanded its ability to provide high-quality hospice care and supportive palliative care across the region. Our Missoula team brings a deep understanding of the local community and a shared commitment to caring for patients and families with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Many members of our team have spent years serving the Missoula area—supporting patients at the bedside in neighborhoods like the Rattlesnake, walking alongside families throughout the Bitterroot Valley, and offering guidance during some of life’s most tender moments. That connection to place and people continues to shape the care we provide every day.

In addition to hospice services, Stillwater Hospice in Missoula offers Community-Based Palliative Care. These palliative care services support individuals living with serious illness who may still be pursuing medical treatment but need additional help managing symptoms, navigating complex healthcare decisions, and improving quality of life. Patients receiving palliative care continue working with their physicians while gaining an added layer of support focused on comfort, coordination of care, and personal goals.

For individuals who qualify for hospice, Stillwater Hospice provides comprehensive end-of-life care designed to support both patients and their families. Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, offering services that include medical care, pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and guidance for loved ones throughout the journey.

Because Medicare covers the full scope of hospice benefits, families can focus on spending meaningful time together rather than worrying about the financial burden of care. Stillwater Hospice also works closely with patients and families to help them understand available benefits and care options.

Stillwater Hospice is committed to ensuring that individuals in both urban and rural communities throughout Western Montana have access to hospice and palliative care when they need it most. Whether someone is navigating a new diagnosis, managing a serious illness, or preparing for end-of-life care, our Missoula team is here to walk beside patients and families every step of the way.

At Stillwater Hospice in Missoula, compassionate care, clinical excellence, and deep community connection come together to support the whole person—one patient and one family at a time.
