Understanding Hospice Care Options

What Is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is specialized support for patients in the final stages of a terminal illness. It focuses on comfort, not cure, and emphasizes dignity, peace, and quality of life. A dedicated team—including physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains—works with each patient to create a personalized plan of care.
