What Is Hospice Care and Who Is It For?
Hospice care is specialized medical care focused on comfort rather than cure for individuals with a terminal illness, typically with a life expectancy of six months or less. At Resurrection Medical Center, our hospice program is tailored to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients while offering resources and guidance for their loved ones.
Common conditions that may lead to hospice care include advanced cancer, heart failure, COPD, dementia, ALS, and other progressive illnesses. Our services include pain and symptom management, medication oversight, emotional counseling, pastoral care, and grief support—ensuring the best quality of life possible during a patient’s final stages.

We also provide 24/7 on-call support, caregiver education, and bereavement services for families coping with loss.
