We’re back with another DeMYTHstify Monday!
Myth or Fact: Hospice hastens death.
MYTH: Hospice seeks neither to lengthen life nor to hasten death. Our approach is to allow nature to take its course, and to bring comfort, support, and peace to the patient and the family. Interestingly, many studies have shown that patients on hospice may actually live longer because their symptoms are being appropriately managed.
Make sure you check back in next week to catch the facts surrounding another myth!
