About us

Brighton Hospice was founded in 2011 by Erin Bennett and Thomas Godfrey. When their paths converged In 2008, they had both already acquired vast amounts of healthcare experience working for large and small hospice companies. Both founders had an entrepreneurial spirit, knew they could raise the standard of patient care, and create a rewarding work environment to attract the best caregivers in the industry.
