"It is only when we truly understand that we have a limited time on earth....
that we will then begin to live each day to the fullest,
as if it is the only one we had."
~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD What is Hospice Care About?
Hospice care is about living. It’s about quality of life, personal choice and compassionate care. It’s about making the best of all our days, of the days we have left. It's about finding comfort and company and relieving suffering and pain. Hospice is about living life to the fullest. What Makes Providence Hospice of Seattle Different?
