Hospice care for cancer patients focuses on symptom relief and quality of life. It is an alternative to hospitalization and gives you an opportunity to make a choice as to where you or your loved one will receive care for the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects associated with terminal illness.
Penn Medicine Hospice services for cancer patients are provided by experienced health care professionals and trained volunteers under the leadership of the hospice medical director. Our staff is available round the clock to serve your needs. Hospice care is available for all patients throughout the health system.
The first Medicare-certified hospice in Pennsylvania, Penn Medicine is one of the oldest and largest hospice programs in the region.
