Can I Change My Mind About Hospice?

Yes, Hospice is a flexible, patient-centered service. Hospice professionals recognize that a hospice program is not for everyone and that people have a right to change their minds. Patients and families can choose to participate in a hospice program or not to continue at any time during the course of the terminal illness.

Should a patient/family already in a hospice program decide that they no longer wish hospice services, they should seek the support and assistance of members of the hospice team in working out necessary medical and insurance changes.
