The American Hospice Foundation supports programs that serve the needs of terminally ill and grieving individuals of all ages. Hospice can provide special help to patients and families when aggressive, curative care no longer makes sense. For extensive information about hospice and helpful articles about caregiving in the face of serious, life-limiting illness, please visit the American Hospice Foundation, on the Web at www.americanhospice.org.
