Hospice is...
When a response to the needs of patients with a terminal disease for whom comfort and care, not cure, is of primary importance, Corry Regional Hospice is here.
Hospice places an emphasis on the ease of suffering and grief, and provides a wide range of physical, emotional and spiritual support services for the patient and family. The patient’s physician, the Hospice Medical Director, registered nurses, social workers, home health aides, counselor and trained volunteers work with the patient and family to enable care to be provided at home.
This program also offers a continuing source of bereavement support for loved ones after the patient dies.
