St. Joseph Hospice
St. Joseph Hospice embraces the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of both the patient and the family facing a terminal illness. Hospice recognizes that the care of these needs, as well as the medical care, contribute to the quality of life for patients and their loved ones.
Our goal at St. Joseph Hospice is to make "every day a good day." To achieve this, we must provide aggressive management of pain and symptom control. Every patient at St. Joseph Hospice has 24/7 access to maximum comfort and symptom control from an experienced interdisciplinary team and a Board Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Physician.
The team at St. Joseph Hospice will provide aggressive COMFORT measures instead of seeking aggressive curative measures.
The St. Joseph Hospice philosophy embodies an experienced team, knowledgeable and qualified, to provide an optimum comfort level for the patient and supporting family. The Corporate Medical Directors at St. Joseph Hospice are Board Certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. This means that every patient and their primary care physician have the benefit of 24 hour availability and support from a Board Certified Hospice and Palliative Care physician that doesn't just "give them something" to relieve the pain. Instead, the Board Certified Hospice and Palliative Care physicians give the right amount of the right medicine to optimize comfort!
If you, a family member, or a friend need hospice care, contact your physician or your local St. Joseph Hospice office.
