Hospice Services
PeaceHealth Hospice provides a comfortable and dignified transition toward the end of life for patients with terminal illnesses. Using expert skills, our entire team works with patients and their loved ones to keep them comfortable and supported. Our specially trained care team serves patients wherever they live — in their own homes, assisted and senior living or skilled nursing facilities. Patients may also choose to reside at a PeaceHealth-affiliated hospice house (available in select communities) to receive this care.
Palliative Care Services
PeaceHealth Palliative Care provides specialized medical care for people with serious illness. Our care focuses on relieving the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with treatments aimed at curing an illness or condition.
