What is Hospice?

Hospice: Comfort and Compassion

Hospice is a concept of care that does not hasten or postpone death, but recognizes dying
as a natural process – and provides palliative care to each individual and their family.
Hospice focuses on palliative care for your comfort, your care, and your control.

(Quotes from: The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization)

“Most people do not want to die in pain or alone in hospitals, hooked up to machines and cut off from their family and friends and everything that’s familiar.”

“They would prefer to be at home…alert and free of pain…
among the people and things they love.”

“Hospice is dedicated to making this happen.”
