I always thought that hospice meant giving up hope. Doesn’t it mean that there’s nothing more the doctors can do?
Physicians and patients turn to hospice when their active curative treatment is no longer effective. Hope then focuses on comfort, on living each day to the fullest and on spending time with family. Hospice supports these hopes. Time and time again, patients and families who have used Hospice of the North Shore services tell us that hospice restores hope and enables patients and their families to achieve their goals and wishes in the time they have remaining.
