The Hospice team is comprised of many people trained to meet the varying needs of our patients and families. Our nurses, hospice aides, chaplains, allied therapists, social workers, and volunteers give physical, emotional, and spiritual care on an intermittent basis and work with the patient's physician to give the best symptom control possible, while teaching the family to care for their loved one. Our volunteers are always ready to step in and help when needed.
