About CareFirstNY
CareFirstNY, originally named Southern Tier Hospice Corporation, is a mission-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and the sole provider of hospice care services in Chemung, Schuyler, and Steuben counties of New York.
Locally formed in 1981 by a dedicated team of volunteers, CareFirstNY provides specialized interdisciplinary support and care for those coping with serious illness, end of life, caregiving, mental health, and grief concerns. All services focus on quality of life through treating the whole person, including their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual symptoms.
A proud recipient of the 2024 Hospice Honors Award, the organization has been revered as a leader in patient advocacy as well as an innovator of new programs and initiatives throughout New York State, and is respected locally for its compassionate and caring interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals and volunteers.
CareFirstNY is committed to providing exceptional care to anyone regardless of background, ethnicity, and/or financial status. Whether it be hospice services, grief support or mental health counseling, no one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
