Mayo Clinic Hospice

Mayo Clinic Hospice provides professional and compassionate care to terminally ill children and adults. Care is home-based and family-centered. Hospice recognizes dying as part of the normal process of living, affirms life and therefore neither hastens nor postpones death. When hospice care becomes the "treatment of choice," there is a change from curative to supportive care measures. The focus becomes the promotion of living as fully and as comfortably as possible. Mayo Clinic Hospice is committed to: An interdisciplinary team approach to physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs, Pain and symptom management, Preparation of you and your family for death in the setting of your choice, Bereavement support following death.

Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals that includes doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains and pharmacists.
