Hospice is care designed for someone with a life-limiting terminal illness.  The focus of hospice care is to provide pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support so that each patient can maintain their dignity and provides sensitive support for the patients’ family as well.

Hospice of Little Traverse Bay demonstrates excellence in service by providing open access to hospice services, caring for anyone, with any life-threatening illness at any time, regardless of the cost.
