Referrals

Too often referrals for Hospice Care are not made until the patient has uncontrolled symptoms or is near death. Although Hospice Care can do much to assist and provide care at this time, the patient’s and family’s quality of life can be greatly enhanced by early intervention.


Referrals to Hospice may be made by anyone, including but not limited to:


  • Physicians
  • Discharge Planners
  • Social Workers
  • Patients
  • Family Members
  • Nursing Homes
  • Friends
  • Clergy
