Hospice is a concept entrenched in the age-old idea of providing shelter, food, and “hospitality” for the ill. To treat cancer patients, hospice care addresses the needs of the physical, psychological, and spiritual self, which results in a more comprehensive healing experience. At the core of the hospice philosophy is a desire to improve a patient’s quality of life by controlling and/or reducing the symptoms of their illness.

Hospice programs extend into a variety of environments: hospitals, designated hospice centers, the home, and other healing facilities. Browse through our directory of hospice programs to learn more about this wonderful approach to cancer treatment.
