When curative treatment is no longer effective, we provide comfort and quality of life for patients with advanced illness.
If a patient’s life expectancy is six months or less and curative treatments are no longer effective or desired, it may be time to consider hospice.
VITAS Healthcare provides expert guidance to help physicians evaluate hospice eligibility and facilitate the often-challenging goals-of-care conversations with patients and their families. By transitioning to hospice care, patients can receive compassionate, comprehensive end-of-life care that meets their unique medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
