At Houston Hospice, we focus on caring, not curing. We take a team approach to care that includes physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, hospice aides, volunteers, and bereavement counselors. We provide hospice service wherever patients and families need us: in their home, in a long-term care facility, or in our inpatient care unit that is based in the Texas Medical Center. Our team of doctors and nurses specialize in managing pain and symptoms that are unique to life-limiting illnesses.
