Information and Tools for Medical Professionals
Enhancing Life Through Our Compassion and Care As health care professionals, we are all dedicated to the same mission - providing care that improves quality of life and preserves human dignity. We work with you, your patients and their families to deliver clinically excellent, compassionate, and customized care. Hospice can help a patient and family to enhance quality of life so they may spend peaceful time together. It offers a comforting alternative when a cure is no longer possible. Hospice can also eliminate unnecessary calls to 911 and trips to the emergency room by giving families the means to care for their loved one at home and the knowledge of what to expect at the end of life. Memorial Hospice is a resource to physicians and other medical professionals who wish to access end of life care for your terminally ill patients. We understand that as referring physicians and medical professionals, you rely on hospice care to provide services not only for your patients, but also for the entire family. By discussing hospice care options with patients early in their treatment, prior to a hospice referral, you may be able to help your patients and their families understand the role and value of this important community resource. Early discussions about hospice can provide patients with a sense of control over their care, alleviate fear of the future, and ease the transition when hospice becomes appropriate.
