Description
Hospice is a holistic philosophy of patient centered care. The hospice program of care focuses on the whole person -- body, mind, and spirit. Hospice recognizes that a patient who is dealing with the end of life seeks, and deserves, comfort in every aspect of his/her life. Hospice care is provided through an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) consisting of a physician, nurses, nurse-aides, social workers, spiritual counselors, nutritional and other therapists and specially trained patient-care volunteers who offer support through the challenges of living with a terminal illness to the patient and family seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
