Our purpose and values
Our purpose at Rennie Grove Peace is to help people in Herts and Bucks with life-limiting illness live the best quality life and have the choice to die at home.
Our purpose
- Rennie Grove Peace provides palliative, end-of-life advice, support, education and a wide range of services to those people who are registered with a West Herts or Buckinghamshire GP practice.
