The “H” Word

It can be hard to bring up “hospice” but it doesn’t have to feel like giving up. 

“There’s nothing more we can do . . .”  has no place in end of life care.

Use language that offers care that is needed now:

  • Urgent and careful management of symptoms
  • Care that comes to your home
  • Support for your family
  • Help with important end-of-life decisions
