Description
Scripps Hospice is committed to providing compassionate hospice care to patients with a serious life-limiting illness. We also coordinate hospice care with other programs at Scripps, including home health and palliative care services.
Designed to help reduce patients’ physical pain and emotional suffering, hospice care is available to those who have made the decision to manage their pain and physical symptoms without seeking curative treatments.
We work as a team to provide medical care that not only brings patients comfort, self-respect and dignity, but also provides emotional, social and spiritual support for their family members.
