Hospice

The Mission of Urgent Care Hospice Inc.
We are committed to providing comprehensive, competent, quality care which addresses the physical, social, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of care as an integrated whole; optimizes comfort and dignity; and prioritizes and stays consistent with the patient’s and family’s needs and goals.

Philosophy

• We recognize dying as a natural, inevitable process when curative therapy is no longer effective.
• We seek neither to hasten nor prolong the dying process.
• We believe that palliative care and sensitivity to individual needs will allow dying patients to have full and rewarding lives until death.
• We support family and friends during the patient’s illness and assist them after the patient’s death through the bereavement program.

Goals

• Exceed patient/family expectations by providing the highest standards of care.
• Respect dignity and enhance the quality of life.
• Relieve pain and other symptoms.
• Include the patient and their family/caregiver in the plan of care.
• Assist the patient in meeting individual goals.
• Help the patient and family develop effective coping mechanisms.
• Provide an atmosphere of comfort and compassion while helping patients, their families, and their loved ones deal with the emotional impact of death.
