Hospice and Palliative Care

“An appropriate death…means dying the best possible way, not only retaining vestiges of what made life important and valuable, but surviving with personal significance and self esteem, with minimal distress and few symptoms, for as long as possible.” – Avery Weisman

The Middlesex Hospital Hospice & Palliative Program is committed to caring for patients and their families who face serious or life-limiting illnesses.  In addition to managing pain and symptoms, we focus on emotional and spiritual comfort. We support and assist patients and their families in making important decisions regarding their care with the goal of enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
