What Is Hospice Care?
Our Hospice Care program is designed to turn the focus of care from being curative to comfort and quality for our patients and their families.
Choosing hospice allows a patient an opportunity to ensure that are they are in control of their healthcare decisions and chose how they want their illness treated.
Hospice is not about giving up, but rather about making more meaningful moments possible.
