Hospice


Hospice is a special kind of caring. It is a support system of medical, social and spiritual services designed to provide comfort and support, as well as preserve dignity and improve the quality of life for individuals dealing with a life-limiting illness, including family members and other loved ones.

Hospice is not about how you die, it’s about how you live.
