Hospice
Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide sensitivity and support for people in the final phase of a terminal illness. Under the direction of the patient's primary physician, hospice uses sophisticated methods of pain and symptom control that enables the patient to live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice treats the person, not the disease. Our team is made up of professionals who address the medical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the patient and family. Hospice care seeks to enable patients to carry on an alert, pain-controlled life and to manage other symptoms so their last days may be spent with dignity at home or a home-like setting.

Hospice care involves the patient and their family in the decision making process regarding care for the patient. Support is also available to the family for a year after the death their loved one. Hospice services are provided 24-hours daily. Volunteers play an important role in Hospice care. For more information on our Hospice Angel Program, click here.
