Our Cancer Care Hospices

Providing free, compassionate inpatient end-of-life care and patient community shelters where dignity, skilled symptom control, and peace surround every patient.

What is Hospice Care?

Adding Quality and Comfort to Every Remaining Day

Hospice care is specialized medical and emotional support designed for individuals in the advanced or terminal stages of cancer, when curative treatments are no longer effective or tolerable. Rather than focusing on aggressive, painful interventions, hospice care concentrates entirely on pain relief, physical comfort, mental tranquility, and human warmth.

At Cancer Care Association, our hospice services are provided 100% free of charge. We believe that financial hardship must never prevent a human being from departing this world in dignity, comfort, and peace.
