Philosophy
|
|
Middle River Hospice provides care and support to individuals and their families who are facing the remaining months or weeks of an incurable illness.
Hospice philosophy is to neither hasten nor postpone death, and to allow patients to have control over their own care. Our priority is to relieve distressing symptoms, especially pain.
