Hospice
Life experiences like a terminal illness, dying, and death are often the most challenging that people face. Such experiences can result in people feeling like they have lost control of their life story. By providing knowledge, comfort, and support, North Memorial Hospice assists patients and their loved ones in continuing to be the authors of their lives.
The North Memorial Difference
- End of life care that is individualized to each patient’s specific goals.
