Hospice is a
philosophy of caring which respects and values the dignity
and worth of each person, and good hospice care is the
practical expression of that personal and professional
commitment. Hospices care for people approaching death, but
hospices cherish and emphasize life, by helping patients
(and those who love and care for them) live each day to the
fullest.
Hospice Education Institute
The
Institute is an independent, not-for-profit
organization, serving members of the public and health
care professionals with information and education about
the many facets of caring for the dying and the
bereaved.
We salute the power of the
Internet, but we believe that many concerns and problems
require personal interaction.
We invite you to telephone
us at 800.331.1620 or 207.255.8800 to obtain information
about good hospice and palliative care; to get referrals
to hospices and palliative
care organizations in the USA, to discuss issues
relating to caring for the dying and the bereaved.
