Hospice

We believe that life is sacred and the dignity of each person deserves our respect and care throughout life including a natural death. We realize that coping with end-of-life issues can be difficult for everyone involved. That's why Dignity Health Hospice is committed to providing compassionate and supportive care to our patients and their loved ones.

Hospice care involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, symptom and pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's needs.  Our primary goal is to fulfill our patient's wishes and to support their families and caregivers. Hospice can help the patient maintain the highest quality of life possible. We strive to care for the whole person, not just the disease.

Family Caregiver Support Program

Millions of Americans provide care to parents, relatives, and/or friends living with illnesses or a chronic health condition. Their contribution to health care is critical and their impact is significant. Evidence shows, however, that most caregivers are ill-prepared for their role and provide ongoing care with little or no personal support. The Family Caregiver Support Program at Marian Regional Medical Center is designed to empower caregivers as part of our health care team. At the heart of the program is the Family Caregiver Navigator who assesses and links caregivers to a variety of services.
