Who we are

 

Compass Hospice is a locally owned and operated hospice provider based in Lexington, South Carolina, proudly serving patients and families throughout Columbia and the Midlands.
With over 45 years of combined experience in geriatric care, hospice, and end-of-life support, our team was built on a simple belief:

Every person deserves care that is personal, dignified, and rooted in compassion.

We are not a franchise or national chain — we are your neighbors, your community, and your local hospice.

Our Leadership


Tama McNaughton, RN — Director of Clinical Services


Tama brings many years of hospice and geriatric experience to Compass Hospice, with a clinical background deeply rooted in compassion, patient dignity, and end-of-life support. She has spent her career caring for older adults, supporting families, and guiding patients through life’s most delicate moments.


Her approach blends clinical excellence with genuine warmth, ensuring every patient receives personalized, comfort-focused care. Tama leads our nursing and clinical teams with a steadfast commitment to the values Compass Hospice was built on: empathy, integrity, and exceptional service to the Midlands community.


Griffin Burgess, MHA, LNHA — Director of Operations & Administrator


Griffin brings an extensive background in geriatric care, assisted living, long-term care, and hospice administration. As a licensed nursing home administrator (LNHA) with a Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA), he has served in leadership roles across multiple senior care settings, always focused on elevating quality, improving family experience, and creating compassionate environments for older adults.


At Compass Hospice, Griffin oversees operations with a hands-on approach and a deep understanding of what families truly need during the end-of-life journey. His leadership ensures that every interaction from the first phone call to the final moments of care reflects Compass Hospice’s mission of dignity, comfort, and unwavering support.
