What is Hospice? During a terminal illness, you or your loved ones may talk with your doctor and decide the treatments meant to cure or slow a disease are no longer working, or you’re ready to stop them. Your doctor can make a referral for hospice care, also known as end-of-life care. Hospice provides a relief from pain, either caused by the illness or the symptoms. Early 19th century: from French, from Latin hospitium, from hospes, hospit-(see host1). Most health care providers offer hospice, check with your local provider.
