Hospice is comprehensive social, medical, and spiritual care that supports patients and their families when an illness no longer responds to curative treatments, or when a patient chooses not to pursue aggressive therapies.

Hospice professionals include nurses, therapists, home health aides, and social workers. These services may also include grief counseling for friends and family in need of support.
