The Elizabeth Hospice 2022-2023 Impact Report

our services

Hospice Care Hospice care is specialized care when an individual and their doctor determine that future efforts to cure an advanced, severe illness are no longer feasible or desirable. We offer a broad array of services for children and adults, along with comprehensive support for our patients’ loved ones. Our focus is helping people make the most of every living moment by ensuring they are as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

Veteran Support We are committed to ensuring that veterans feel appreciated and receive the medical support and attention they need and deserve. Our hospice caregivers have specialized training that enables them to address post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, survivor’s guilt, and soul injury.

Pediatric Hospice Care We have a dedicated team of professionals who specialize in providing care for children diagnosed with life-limiting conditions. Caring for these children is complex, because, unlike adults, they continue to develop physically and emotionally throughout the illness. Since federal regulations allow children to receive curative treatment while on hospice, our Pediatric Team often works closely with a child’s primary care physician and specialists to relieve their symptoms and manage their pain. 71 patients received pediatric hospice care 30 patients received pediatric palliative care
