Hospice is a type and a philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient’s symptoms, which can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature. The primary goals of hospice care are to provide comfort, relieve physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering, and promote the dignity of terminally ill persons.

This can be provided through pain and symptom management of end stage disease processes; psychological, spiritual, and culturally sensitive care of patients and their families. Qualified and trained staff in this field provide sensitive care and pain relief to patients in the final stages of life. They protect patients from unnecessary, painful therapies, and often provide care at home, in order to maximize meaningful time patients can spend with family and loved ones.
