End-of-Life Discussion

For those patients with advanced illnesses, once a statement of prognosis is made, Delaware Hospice is available to come to a physician practice, hospital or other care facility and discuss the benefits of Delaware Hospice care and support services.

“I cannot thank Delaware Hospice enough for the help and care they give me. I do not know how to thank you enough.”

— William B., Lewes, DE

At Delaware Hospice, we believe that initiating a discussion about hospice care options with patients is not solely a physician’s responsibility.
