Helping family members through this time is an essential part of the hospice mission. Provided through hospice for medication needs related to pain management and symptom control. Provided to support the plan of care and assist the patient and caregiver. Provided for the patient in order to assist the caregiver in recovering from intense physical and emotional stress. The disease progression usually indicates that the patient has a life expectancy of six months if the disease follows a normal course.
Eligibility precludes the patient pursuing aggressive curative treatments or medical interventions.

Corporate and individual memorials and donations are always appreciated so that we may continue to carry out our mission of service to those in need.
