Hospice Volunteers
St. Aloisius contracts with St. Alexius to provide hospice services to terminally ill patients and their families.
Hospice is a comprehensive team-oriented program of care that seeks to treat and comfort terminally ill patients and their families - at home or in a home-like setting. Hospice establishes pain management and symptom control as clinical goals, and understands that psychological and spiritual pain are as significant as physical pain.
Volunteers are trained in death, dying, grief and loss issues, the hospice philosophy, the psychological and social issues that families deal with and providing quality, compassionate care to terminal patients and their families.
