Your Wishes. Your Voice. Your Peace of Mind.
It's never too soon to make your healthcare wishes known.
A healthcare directive ensures your voice is heard, even when you cannot speak for yourself. It allows you to document your medical care preferences and designate someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf.
This Hospice & Palliative Care Month, planning ahead is an act of love. It gives your loved ones guidance, reduces uncertainty, and provides peace of mind knowing your wishes will be respected.
It's never too soon to start. Unexpected situations can happen at any age, so take the first step today by thinking about your wishes and sharing them with the people you love.
What is
Hospice?
Hospice provides expert, coordinated care for people facing serious illness. Our team works closely with you, your loved ones, and your healthcare providers to honor your goals and support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Hospice Services
St. Francis Hospice provides wraparound services for both patients and families. We meet you where you are and brings care that is aligned with your medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
Medical Care
Your care team will come to you, whether you are in your home, in our inpatient unit, or in a facility. We are also available through the phone 24/7.
Emotional & Spiritual Care
Navigate this chapter of life with a support team that focuses on your emotional and spiritual needs.
Family Care
Families and caregivers receive support as well. Joining hospice eases the load for caregivers. Services continue after their loved one passes.
We offer respite services at no cost for up to 5 days at our inpatient unit in Nuʻuanu or in a nursing home.
