Hospice of the Upstate

                                   "Hospice originated in Medieval Europe. It described a place
                                where travelers, weary from journeys, could seek shelter,
                                nourishment, and rest. Today, the Hospice concept has been
                                adapted to mean a program of care which meets the physical,
                                emotional, spiritual and social needs of individuals during their
                                last stage of life. Hospice is now a coordinated program of care
                                which treats the patient and family as a unit. An interdisciplinary
                                team of professionals provide the necessary care to meet the
                                special needs that arise out of the crisis of a terminal illness."
