Hospice Care

Hospice Care focuses on prioritizing comfort and quality of life by managing symptoms and providing emotional and spiritual support. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals who work together to provide care for the patient and family. Palliative Care provides an extra layer of support and focuses on improving the quality of life for both the patient and family when they are facing serious illness. Prevention and relief of the symptoms and stress that often accompany a chronic or serious illness is the primary focus.
