Embracing Hospice

Organization Description: 

Delivering comprehensive hospice services to every one who needs those services, without impediments or barriers, whether they're financial or cultural is central to the philosophy and concept of hospice.

American Hospice is a leader in the delivery of hospice care in the United States. It is one of the nation's oldest and largest hospice providers and has never accepted payments from patients or limited access to the full scope of hospice care.

American Hospice interdisciplinary teams—including physicians, nurses, nurse aides, pharmacists, social workers, spiritual care counselors, bereavement counselors, volunteers, and support staff—share a mission to fundamentally transform the process of dying. They accomplish this mission every day by delivering quality hospice care through a collaborative approach
