Hospice is more than a program or building. It is based upon a concept of hope and commitment to patients and their loved ones that the dying process will be pain-free and dignified. The core concepts of hospice are pain management, physical, emotional, social and spiritual support and acceptance of death as a natural part of the life cycle.
