When palliative care and comfort, rather than cure, is the focus in a terminal illness, St.Vincent Health’s comprehensive hospice programs for adults and children provide care and support to both patient and family.

An interdisciplinary team of highly trained professionals provides care at home or in identified long-term care facilities during the dying process. The program focuses on maintaining the quality of life by keeping patients pain-free and comfortable while providing for spiritual, emotional, social and physical needs.
