Valdosta – The Valdosta Chamber hosted a ribbon cutting for Agape Care Group’s new location at 2941 North Ashley Street Suit D.

Agape Care Group, a mission-based hospice and palliative care provider serving the Southeastern United States, aims to establish itself as the premier provider of care in the region, delivering superior patient-family experiences and cultivating a culture of excellence.

Headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Agape Care Group extends its services across North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. The expansion of their presence to Valdosta signifies their commitment to providing compassionate end-of-life care to the South Georgia community.

Vicki Rountree, Hospice Liaison at the Valdosta Branch, expressed the organization's vision, stating, "We want to be recognized as the premier provider of care in the Southeast known for our superior patient-family experience, delivering the highest quality care, and building a culture of excellence."

Since its establishment in October 2022, Agape Care Group has assembled a dedicated team comprising registered nurses (RNs), certified nursing assistants (CNAs), a social worker, a chaplain, and several volunteers. Each member of the staff brings years of hospice experience and shares a collective enthusiasm to serve families in the South Georgia area.

While Agape Care Group operates in multiple states, Rountree emphasized the significance of their presence in South Georgia, saying, "We are excited to offer the South Georgia community a new option in in-home hospice providers."

Setting Agape Care Group apart is its distinction as the only licensed hospice provider in Georgia capable of serving every county in the state. By leveraging investments in software, their clinical team adopts a proactive approach to patient care, ensuring comprehensive support for patients and their families. With around-the-clock coverage, Agape Care Group remains dedicated to standing by their patients when they need it the most. Rountree affirmed, "When we say we are with you, we mean it."

As new members of the Chamber, Rountree expressed the entire staff's eagerness to actively engage with the community and forge connections through their membership. Recognizing the Chamber's ability to facilitate community introductions, she stated, "We felt we needed a more formal introduction to the community, and we knew the Chamber could help with that endeavor."
