What is the Goal of Hospice?

Hospice care is not a cure. Rather, it provides support for patient and family during the final stage of life. Our name, Anodyne, comes from the Greek word meaning "without pain". The primary goal of our hospice care is to ensure that every person may live out his or her life with dignity and free of pain.

How is Hospice Care Paid For?
