Understanding Hospice Care
Hospice care is specialized medical care designed for individuals facing a life-limiting illness. The goal of hospice is not to cure an illness, but to improve comfort, manage symptoms, and support patients and families during a challenging time.
Hospice focuses on the whole person by addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Families often tell us they wish they had learned about hospice sooner because of the support, education, and resources it provides.
