Hospice

Hospice is organized to provide a health-care program to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of the terminally ill and their families. Hospice services are designed to complement existing health-care services available to the general public. Hospice care utilizes an interdisciplinary team composed of physicians, nurses, volunteers, clergy, and a social worker to provide care, assistance, guidance and support to patients and their families during and following the last phase of terminal illness. The Hospice benefit is designed to meet the needs of each patient and their families.
