Mission Statement
Hospice For Utah is committed to providing exceptional physical, social, emotional, and spiritual care for the terminally ill patient and family. We will focus on enhancing the patient's quality of life, preserving the patient's dignity and dealing with the patient's end of life issues. Our interdisciplinary team is dedicated to a compassionate and comprehensive approach to the delivery of hospice care.
Hospice For Utah recognizes that dying is an integral part of living and comfort care and palliation of symptoms can offer terminal patients and their families the opportunity to share intimate and loving experiences. Our interdisciplinary team of professionals will provide education to the community, patient and family to encourage the use of Hospice services everywhere.
Description
The interdisciplinary teach consists of a Nurse, a Nurse's Aide, a Chaplain, a Social Worker, and a Volunteer. The team takes care of the patient and the family needs as they deal with end of life issues.
The Volunteer is the only non-clinical person the patient and the family communicate with. The relationship of the Volunteer to the patient and the family is special and very personal.
