Here, you will work alongside compassionate physicians, nurses and other healthcare staff to offer patients support and comfort as they adjust to the hospice environment.      

Hospice helps patients and their families prepare physically, emotionally and spiritually for the end of life. Our focus is on providing comfort, not a cure, and on quality of life, not duration.

• Evaluate, update and revise plans of care.  

• Assess educational needs of patients, caregivers and family while considering cultural issues and other special challenges.  

• Provide teaching and educational material to patients and families concerning diagnosis, diagnostic tests and procedures, safe and proper use of equipment, reason for and safe use of medication food/drug interactions, injury prevention, self-care and nutritional needs.
