What Is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is for people who are near the end of life. It doesn’t try to cure illness. Instead, it focuses on making people feel better — in body, mind, and spirit. Our goal is to reduce stress and provide peace.

We also help family members understand what’s happening and how to cope. You’re not alone — we’ll walk this journey with you.
