Hospice offers comprehensive health care services for people with a terminal illness and support for their loved ones.

Hospice emphasizes comfort care (rather than curative treatment). Hospice is holistic, addressing patients' physical, emotional and spiritual well being. Hospice regards the entire family, rather than the patient alone, as its "unit of care," and offers supportive services for all family members. Hospice is different from other types of health care because:

• We use an expert care team
• We emphasize patients' emotional and spiritual health as well as their physical condition
• We recognize that other family members also need attention during a loved one's illness

·         We care for all who need and seek our services, regardless of age, diagnosis or ability to pay.

 Hospice of Michigan provides services to meet the emotional, spiritual and physical needs of our patients and their families. Hospice puts the family and patient at the center of care planning, and by working closely with physicians and caregivers, provides comprehensive, compassionate care for individuals nearing the end of life.

·   Pain and symptom management
·   Emotional and spiritual support
