Honor your loved one at the 2008 Hospice Memorial Tree.

The Hospice Program’s mission is founded on the belief that the alleviation of symptoms related to the final stages of terminal illness will allow patients and families an opportunity to enjoy quality of life and to prepare for death in ways that are physically, emotionally and spiritually satisfactory for them.
 

Based on their assessment of a patient’s needs, our clinical hospice team develops an individualized plan of care to manage the patient’s symptoms and add to his or her comfort in a way that fosters quality of life through the last moments of life. 

Medical Social Workers - assist with the emotional, psycho-social and financial stresses that may accompany a terminal illness. 

Volunteers - provide patient companionship and respite for loved ones.  

Bereavement Services  

When a hospice patient dies, members of the hospice team offer personal and group support services. Bereavement services are provided for families and loved ones who have experienced a loss and to the community at large.
