What is Hospice Care?

Hospice is a special way of caring for patients who have a life-limiting illness. Hospice care is designed to provide comfort and support for the patient and their family. Hospice affirms life and encourages patients and family members to enjoy life fully, comfortably, and with grace. The emphasis is on helping the person make the most of each hour and each day by providing comfort and relief from pain and other symptoms.

Hospice care is devoted to helping patients remain alert and free of pain so quality time can be spent with loved ones.
