Penn Medicine at Home's Hospice Care has a holistic philosophy that takes a pro-active approach to pain and symptom management and recognizes that pain extends beyond the physical. The symptoms of each patient's illness are addressed as well as the emotional and spiritual concerns of the patient, caregiver and family — assisting patients and loved ones with the challenges that come with death and dying.

Hospice care provides an opportunity for healthcare professionals to help patients take control of their life and treatment. A multidisciplinary hospice team provides a wide range of care and support, allowing patients to live out their final months comfortably, in control, and with the dignity and respect they deserve.
