Hospice Philosophy

TIP Hospice of Missouri and Illinois affirm's the belief that patients with a terminal illness can live fully and be hopeful. Our Hospice program affirms life and does not hasten nor postpone death. The core value of Hospice as a service of end-of-life care to patients and their families is found in our deep sense of caring and commitment.

Focusing on the quality of life, our medically-directed hospice team seeks to manage the pain and symptoms that are part of a terminal illness. A holistic approach is emphasized so that spiritual, psycho-social, physical and emotional needs of the patient and the family are addressed. All care is directed towards the preservation of dignity, integrity and patient autonomy.
