Our Journey
Sparsh New Hospice Facility
Designed by the renowned architect Shri Sudhir Reddy, is in the shape of a comma, representing the pause between active life and the other world. This truly is the state of the patients who come here and have a pause to find themselves and connect with their families before leaving this world peacefully.
