If your family is facing the challenge of a life-limiting illness, Holy Redeemer – with both inpatient and outpatient hospice services – stands ready to support you and help you focus on living.

Holy Redeemer Hospice is known for its genuine concern and loving care for patients with life-limiting illness, as well as their families. One of the primary goals of hospice is to allow the patient to enjoy an alert and pain-free life. To this end, our care emphasizes supportive care that enables the patient to live in a dignified fashion.
Hospice care is based on the understanding that:
- Death is a natural part of life. Hospice seeks neither to hasten nor postpone death.
- Pain relief and symptom control are appropriate clinical goals.
- Psychological and spiritual pain are as significant as physical pain. Addressing all three requires the skills of an interdisciplinary team.
- Patients, their families and loved ones are the unit of care.
- Care is provided regardless of the ability to pay.
