Understanding Your Needs
Hospice care is available for patients who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and have a prognosis of 6 months or less. It is at this time that comfort care and symptom management become the primary focus and curative treatment is no longer the patient’s choice or option. If you or a loved one find yourself in this place, Hospice of Southern Illinois can help by providing information, answering questions or as a care provider. We understand what you are going through and have the experience to provide the assistance you need.
