The Hospice Program at Emerson Hospital
The Hospice Program at Emerson Hospital combines professionals, family and friends who work together to help seriously ill patients live as comfortably as possible during their final weeks or months. When patients are no longer seeking a cure, quality of life becomes the main concern. Hospice care combines medical, social, emotional, spiritual and support services aimed at preserving the patient’s dignity, integrity and comfort.
The Hospice Program at Emerson Hospital serves patients in the 25 towns served by the hospital. Most insurers, including Medicare, provide hospice benefits that cover all or most hospice services.
