"Hospice is about relationships and support systems. During this very meaningful and critical time, when people need to make end-of-life decisions, hospice becomes an important piece in the delivery of quality care. Hospice must be competent in many ways including managing the medical delivery of palliative care and implementing the psychological skills of a counselor; but facilitating family relationships is the hallmark of quality in a hospice program."
