Boston, Massachusetts Hospice Care

The word "hospice" comes from the same Latin root as "hospitality," "host," and "guest." The modern hospice movement was founded on the idea of patients as honored guests in the care of loving hosts; and as guests, their comfort and wishes come first. Hospice care is designed to honor patient's choices and ensure relief of all the different kinds of suffering that come along with terminal illness.
