Christian Hospice provides an individualized program of physical, emotional, and spiritual care for people in the last phases of a life-limiting illness, with an emphasis on control of pain and other symptoms.
Our program is reflective of a spirit and idea of caring that emphasizes comfort and dignity for the patient, making it possible for them to remain independent for as long as possible, in familiar surroundings. Our services are centered towards the patient and their family/caregiver.
