Hospice affirms life by providing the care and support necessary to enhance the quality of life remaining for the patient.
Hospice care is pallative.
The aim is to manage pain and other symptoms so that patients remain comfortable and at an optimum level of functioning, preferably in their own homes. In addition, CHS offers speakers and other educational programming to family, friends and the public. CHS serves the counties of Craig, Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, and Pulaski, and the city of Radford. Hospice services are available 24 hours per day, seven days a week, and are provided regardless of ability to pay. Some services may be reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.
