Plans of care are individualized to enable each patient to navigate through end of life with hope and meaning while establishing their goals of care. In line with Notre Dame Health Care’s mission of having a holistic approach to care, mind, body, and spirit are all critical aspects of each individual’s journey. We not only assess and manage all physical symptoms related to the illness and end of life, but also the emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of coping with a terminal illness. Special attention is paid to honoring the specific needs and customs of all ethnic backgrounds.

Notre Dame Hospice also participates in the We Honor Veterans program developed by The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
