COMPASSION
Corpus Christi Hospice is dedicated to providing compassionate high quality hospice care. Our goal is to work as closely as possible with you, your family or your representatives in order to provide the best services to you.
The quality of life for those we serve is enhanced through palliative and specialized supportive care designed to meet the physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of the patients and caregivers.
DESIGN
Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team utilizing an approach to the care delivered to patients either in their own home or extended care facility; working cooperatively with area health care providers and other community resources.
CAREGIVING
SUPPORT
Corpus Christi Hospice restores quality of life for patients by reducing the pain and symptoms associated with their life limiting illness.
We get to know our patients and their loved ones on a personal level and work closely with a team of specialists to develop a palliative care plan that supports patient and family end-of-life goals. While we do not administer curative care, our staff will aggressively treat symptoms and pain to ensure comfort.
The life you have led doesn't need to be the only life you have.
