Blaine Whitson, President
"I have been serving the southern California community in hospice since 1998 and Golden Valley, Arizona since 2012. It is an honor for people to allow us to come into their homes, into their lives, and help them through a very difficult time of life. At Living Waters Hospice, we treat each patient and family as if they were our own loved ones."

To Our Patients' Physicians and Partners in Care: Ease of refferal and timely appropriate communications is the hallmark of our service. We value our collaboration in meeting patient and family needs and strive to warrant your continuing confidence.
