Hospice Service
Hospice Care is provided to aid and comfort patients diagnosed with terminal illness. Our service can assist the families through out the whole process in assuring that the patient is as comfortable as possible.
Under hospice patient comfort is attained through pain and symptom management. However, that is only a part of the full scope of services which also includes spiritual counseling, family counseling, medical equipment and much more.
