Essentia Health Hospice - Itasca Team

The goal of hospice is to support and care for individuals who are dying of incurable disease so that people may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice recognizes dying as part of the normal process of living, and focuses on maintaining quality of life and dignity. Hospice affirms life, it neither hastens nor postpones death. Patients and families can access hospice care without a physician referral.
