Our approach to care

Hospice is a change of focus to comfort, control of symptoms and quality of life. We offer specialized care for people facing a terminal illness. Anyone can make the first call; it does not have to come from a physician. Our team is available to answer questions and offer guidance on whether hospice is appropriate.
