About Us

Hospice & Palliative Care of Westchester is a support and care program for people with incurable disease and their families. We recognize dying as part of the normal process of living and focus on maintaining the quality of life despite a terminal illness.

We celebrate the joy of life and the dignity of death.
We offer care aimed at helping the patient live as fully and comfortably as possible using pain control and other palliation techniques.
We offer support group workshops to care for families and caregivers.

Still available from our last Nationally Televised Conference on "Living with Grief - Children, Adolescents and Loss," a compendium of topics.
