Mission Statement
OUR MISSION: Compassus Hospice is committed to keeping The Hospice Promise by delivering the highest quality of care, serving the needs of patients and families and spreading the stories of hospice to those with whom they come into contact.
Description
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
Compassus recognizes death as a natural part of the life cycle, and promotes pain relief and symptom management as appropriate clinical goals.
Compassus affirms life and provides hospice interventions that will seek neither to hasten death nor to postpone it.
Compassus understands that psychosocial and spiritual pain is often as significant as physical pain, and that addressing all three requires the skills of an interdisciplinary team.
Compassus believes that patients and loved ones are an integral part of our Plan of Care.
