Hospice involves a team of professionals working together, including doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and volunteers. Each member brings their unique expertise to support the patient and family. While acknowledging the reality of the illness, hospice helps patients focus on what matters most to them and make the most of their remaining time.

Medicare’s hospice benefit is a specialized program designed to provide palliative care for individuals with a life expectancy of six months or less, if the illness runs its normal course. This benefit focuses on comfort, symptom management, and support for both the patient and their family.
