Making decisions for yourself or a family member with advanced illness can often be confusing, scary and emotionally challenging. Providence’s Hospice and Palliative Care programs are designed to assist and support you in finding answers to all of your questions. The programs offer help and support in pain and symptom management, referrals to health and other community resources, and support in all aspects of care – physical, spiritual, emotional. Whether you are continuing treatment with advanced illness or focusing on comfort care, Providence Hospice & Palliative Care programs can assist you in making the best choices for your care. The goal of Providence Hospice Bereavement program is to support the bereaved as they reconcile their loss, process grief and resume their normal activities. Camp Erin of Portland is a grief camp offered at no charge to children and teens ages 6-17. The camp provides a relaxed, safe and supportive setting for children to express their emotions, share their grief and learn positive coping skills.
