Welcome
to
America's First Hospice
The Connecticut Hospice inaugurated hospice care in America in 1974.
Since then, it has been the beacon and teacher of the growing hospice
movement throughout the nation, and beyond.
The Connecticut Hospice addresses physical, spiritual, social, and
emotional needs of patients with advanced irreversible illness, and
their families. Such care is provided regardless of diagnosis and
as long as the Hospice level of care is needed by the patients.
Hospice care is provided in the home, or inpatient setting by a medically
directed, nurse-coordinated, interdisciplinary team, and continues
throughout the period of bereavement. |
