care helps improve the quality of life of terminally ill patients
and their families. |
St. Francis Hospice is the oldest and largest hospital-based hospice
program in the State of Hawaii. It was created in 1978 to ease the
physical discomfort of terminally ill patients and allow them to face
"death with dignity." Hospice patients must have an attending
physician who believes the patient has a life expectancy of six months
or less and must have completed curative treatment. Bereavement support
and respite care are provided to family members.
