Hospice Care

PruittHealth Hospice is our family-focused approach to end-of-life care that helps patients live their final days well cared for, pain-free and surrounded by their loved ones. 

Hospice care does not hasten or postpone death, caring for the person rather than the disease, with a focus on quality rather than length of life. Hospice care is always family-centered, involving the patient and family in the decision-making process. PruittHealth delivers hospice care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the setting tailored to each patient’s individual needs. Hospice is not a place; it is a specialized service approach to end-of-life care.

Hospice care is designed for patients who have any disease that has a prognosis of six months or less to live.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialized care for those with an acute or chronic illness and is focused on symptom management and stress relief. Patients may have palliative care at any stage of their illness and may receive curative therapy at the same time. The goal is to reduce a patient’s suffering, provide ongoing treatment, and promote the best quality of life for those with serious illnesses.
