What is hospice care?
Hospice is a specialized type of comprehensive and compassionate care for the terminally ill and their loved ones.
The goal of hospice is to care, not to cure and to provide patients with the comfort, dignity, and symptom management that will help them find peace and meaning in the final months and weeks of their lives. Hospice is not about dying. Hospice affirms life – neither hastening nor postponing death. Hospice is about living life to the fullest with dignity and comfort.

After the loss of a loved one, those left behind often experience
a variety of powerful emotions. This can feel overwhelming and isolating.
