There comes a time near
the end of life when a person needs a special kind of care... a
time when traditional treatments no longer offer the hope of a cure...
a time when thoughts turn to dying with dignity and peace. VNA hospice
provides that special kind of care.
Established in 1978, VNA Hospice is the oldest and most experienced
hospice in Texas meeting the medical, psychological, social, spiritual
and practical needs of patients and their families during a terminal
illness. Symptom management, in-home medical equipment and bereavement
counseling are provided by trained and sensitive professionals and
volunteers. During 2006, 1,425 patients received 69,718 days of
hospice service.
| Diagnosed with a terminal illness, Walter chose
to receive VNA hospice. He was able to live at home rather than
seek hospitalization or nursing home care. For the duration
of his illness, Walter remained comfortable. His wife, Helen,
was appreciative that Walter was able to remain near his family.
Besides palliative care, VNA hospice provided spiritual and
emotional support. Donations from the community allow VNA Hospice
to care for and comfort patients and their families even when
they cannot afford to pay. |
