Hospice is a form of compassionate and quality care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury. Hospice is provided wherever the patient calls home, designed to make the end-of-life experience a positive one. Rather than trying to cure an illness, the goal of hospice is to make the patient comfortable, ease pain and other troublesome symptoms and support the family during this challenging time. UT Hospice is a large hospice covering 11 counties. We provide care 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
