Hospice is a concept of care, not a place. Hospice provides quality, compassionate health care to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. Hospice focuses on maximizing the quality of life based on an individual's choices, so that the person may live life as fully and comfortably as possible, for as long as possible.

Hospice has turned an eternal secret into a living principle‚ that what is truly important is a life lived richly, deeply and meaningfully for as long as it lasts. Patients can die at home, surrounded by their families and friends, and with the knowledge that everything will be done to keep them pain free as they approach death. By promoting dignity, family, comfort and caring, hospice helps terminally ill patients and their loved ones cope with and find meaning in the end of life.
