Hospice & Community Care

Hospice is a vital part of the continuum of care that is available to seriously ill patients and their families. Neither hastening nor postponing dying, Hospice strives to bring quality of life and comfort to patients. Just as doctors and midwives lend support and expertise during childbirth, Hospice provides care and knowledge during the dying process.

Hospice & Community Care provides comprehensive management of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients. The goal of care is to achieve the best possible quality of life through relief of suffering, control of symptoms and restoration of functional capacity. Hospice Care can be provided in the setting that is most suitable for the needs of each patient and family.
