Hospice is a philosophy of care that recognizes death as the final stage of life. Our mission at Professional Hospice is to enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality surrounded by their loved ones.

Hospice care:

• Affirms life.
• Neither hastens nor postpones death.
• Treats the person, not the disease.
• Emphasizes quality of life.
• Is family-centered, involving both patient and family in decision-making.
• Is available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week.

Hospice care has several elements that distinguish it from other health care.

• Expert pain and symptom control
• Spiritual care
• Bereavement care
• Respite care for caregivers
• Family conferences
• Volunteers
• Medical equipment and supplies
