Helping Patients and Families Navigate Life’s Final Chapter

Hospice is about living fully, even as life nears its end. At Glendive Medical Center, our Hospice team provides comfort-focused care in the setting your patients know best—home. With expert pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and family-centered services, we help patients and their loved ones find peace, dignity, and connection.

How does hospice differ from other types of health care?

• Offers pain and symptom control rather than curative treatment.
• Treats the person, not the disease, with a "team approach" to care.
• Emphasizes quality, rather than length of life.
• Considers the entire family, not just the patient.
• Teaches family and friends care techniques.
• Utilizes community volunteers to enrich the program through their dedication and compassion.
• Provides all equipment.
• Available 24 hours/day.
• Accepts patients for Hospice in their home or in facilities.
• Patient needs to have 24 hour care in place.
• Offers 13 months of bereavement with the loss of a loved one.

Our interdisciplinary team—including nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers—works in close partnership with referring physicians for seamless care and regular updates.
