Studies show early engagement of hospice can extend and improve quality of life.
Anyone coping with a terminal diagnosis is welcome to inquire about Northern Light’s hospice programs at any point. We care for patients with a variety of illnesses including, Cancer, ALS, Heart Disease, COPD, Alzheimer’s, Liver Disease and more. You do not have to wait until your doctor recommends hospice to learn about your options. Although many people believe that hospice care is designed to provide the necessary care for the final days of life, studies have proven that earlier engagement of hospice can extend life and improve quality of life as well.
