Take the first step, share your choices
Advance care planning for health care decision making does not happen overnight. It takes thought, emotional readiness and time to sort out the options and ready oneself for this serious undertaking.
Sharing your choices through conversation is an important first step. In the long run, the conversations will be the greatest gift to those you love, giving them the confidence to act knowingly on your behalf and the comfort of knowing that your wishes will be honored.

Hospice Care Information
Hospice is not a place; it is a philosophy of care. Hospice professionals provide comfort and support to ensure the highest quality of life.
Anyone can call to inquire about services available. Physicians, social workers and nurses often assist family members by initiating the call.
There are many myths about hospice that may keep people from getting the best care possible, when they need it most.
Medicare, Medicaid, and many private medical insurance companies cover hospice services.
Hospice has a team of caregivers that wraps around the patient and the family.
Different levels of care are offered to meet the varying needs of our patients and families, regardless of where services are provided.
Choosing hospice services for you or your loved one is one of the most important decisions you will ever have to make.
Palliative care provides many of the same services as hospice, but tailored for someone who may not be ready for hospice care or does not choose it.
