Welcome to Hospice Community. We are glad you found us. We hope we can be of some help and comfort to you.

Whether you are caring for a loved one with a serious illness, have recently lost a loved one, or are yourself struggling with a critical or terminal illness, you will find friendship and support here.

This is a group for patients, caregivers, and hospice professionals. It is primarily a support group for people who struggle with potentially terminal illness and for the family and friends who care for them. We believe in the hospice philosophy, which values the sanctity and quality of life and the right of every individual to live and die with dignity, in familiar surroundings, and free from pain. Our purpose is to provide support and information to caregivers, health care workers, family members, and patients dealing with life-threatening illness.

This group is also a forum for discussing hospice and educating family, patients, physicians, health care workers, and the public about the wonderful benefits of hospice care.

Please see our *links* page for helpful links relating to hospice and health care.

Thank you so much for visiting us,

Jan and Carlos
