What is hospice?

 

Hospice is a team approach to care that addresses the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of

dying patients, their families and caregivers.

 

Hospice emphasizes concern for the quality of remaining

life with a goal of making people feel more cared for and

less alone.
