The Medical Team (Hospice) goal is NOT to end life, but to make the end of life as full and meaningful as possible. Our society tends to run from death and make it a horrifying experience. Death is one of those four letter words. We work to help the patient and family recognize and come to terms with issues of grief and loss and to transform these final times into a beautiful process. It is a journey through pain, but it can be a journey rich with meaning and joy. And that is why we are here. We do not hasten death, but we do allow the person the dignity to die without painful, debilitating treatments that rob the person and their families of meaningful interactions because the person is experiencing painful side effects from treatments. We want life to be lived to the fullest until the final breath is taken. And even after death of one of our patients, we continue to follow-up with the family for the next 13 months through our bereavement program.
