PHN Board President Sad things happen when patients, their families and medical professionals wait to seek hospice care until the very last days of life. Patients and families may miss the kind of empowerment, spiritual enrichment, and deepened relationships that come with the care Mission Hospice volunteers and staff are able to give. They may also miss out on some of the most current pain management expertise, practical information and services which can help them to live life as fully as possible.
Hospice care is designed to be of benefit during the last six months of life.
A minimum of three months is optimal. Please seek services from Mission Hospice early enough to receive the best possible care for your loved ones. One of the gifts Mission Hospice people bring is an opportunity for patients and their families to strengthen their relationships with one another. This gift brings hope and even joy at the end of life.
