Hospice services are coordinated by an interdisciplinary team (physician, nurse, home health aide, nutrition counselor, social worker, pastoral care counselor, and trained volunteers) who ensure continuity of patient and family care. Supportive Care, a newly developed program, offers services to terminally ill patients and their families who are not yet able to accept the concept of Hospice care.
