What is Hospice Care or Palliative Care?
Hospice care is considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness, injury, or terminal illness. Hospice care does not hasten or postpone death. Hospice care is intended to enhance the quality of life for people with terminal illnesses by attending to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each patient and their family. |
