If more than 50 per cent of people vote 'Yes' the Act will come into force 12 months after the date the final votes are announced.
If more than 50 per cent of people vote 'No' in the referendum, the End of Life Choice Act will not come into force.
Cranford Hospice chief executive Janice Byford‑Jones said the organisation respected that everyone had their right to their opinion.
"There are varying views from spiritual, religious or cultural perspectives which may not be the same for all individuals within a group or culture," she said.
"We acknowledge the impact these beliefs will have on the way a person thinks about euthanasia, assisted dying and the End of Life Choice Act 2019 legislation."
Cranford Hospice has, since 1982, provided specialist palliative care, education and bereavement support to the people of Hawke's Bay and will continue to do so whether assisted dying is legalised or not, she said.
"We want the community to be really clear that we are committed to continuing our support and planning with the person and their whānau and will do this with care and respect," Byford-Jones said.
"In 2018, Cranford Hospice adopted a Euthanasia Policy which stated that, as an organisation, it does not support a change in the law to legalise euthanasia or assisted suicide."
Cranford Hospice supports Hospice New Zealand on Hospice Care and Assisted Dying, she said.
"With this in mind, the Cranford Hospice Trust Board has confirmed that it does not wish to engage in, or try to influence the outcome of the End of Life Choice vote in our community," Byford-Jones said.
"Whatever the outcome of the referendum, Cranford Hospice will continue to provide the best possible palliative care to people regardless of their desire for assisted dying or not."
