Redefining Hospice: A Journey of Hope, Comfort, and Compassion
What's Your Story?
Many misunderstandings surround the concept of hospice. When people hear the term “hospice,” they often think of it as care provided only in the final days or weeks of life. However, hospice care extends far beyond end-of-life support—it focuses on improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and offering compassionate care to both individuals and their families during difficult times. A common misconception is that hospice is reserved for a person’s final moments. In truth, hospice care can begin much earlier, giving patients and their loved ones the opportunity to receive support and focus on what truly matters.
Whether you are a current hospice patient, have lost a loved one in hospice care, have a loved one currently in hospice, or work in a hospice setting that has significantly changed your perspective on hospice, we encourage you to share your story. Help us spread the message that hospice care isn’t about giving up hope—it’s about finding it.
