Chisholm Trail Hospice provides physical, emotional, and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their families. Our interdisciplinary team helps patients maintain their dignity, comfort, and quality of life in the face of terminal illness. Patients may have any end-stage disease to qualify for Hospice. It is not a "cancer only" service. Hospice nurses and staff can do their best work with early referrals. This enables staff to predict and prevent some expected crisis periods and also allows for a rapport to be established between the patient, the family, and the Hospice team. Anyone may make a referral, but a physician must order Hospice before care begins.
