Hospice Care
Anyone can refer a patient to hospice, and early referrals greatly improve quality of life by allowing symptoms to be anticipated, managed, and prevented before they become severe. When hospice is involved sooner, patients and families receive more comprehensive support and can often avoid unnecessary hospitalizations or emergency visits.
