"You
matter to us
because you are you.
You
matter
to the last moment
of your life,
and we will do
all we can,
not only to
help you die peacefully,
but also to
live until you die."
Cicely Saunders, M.D.

Hospice recognizes
dying as a normal process and it neither hastens nor postpones
death.
Hospice reflects a spirit and philosophy of caring that emphasizes
comfort and dignity for the dying. Hospice seeks to enhance the
dying person’s quality
of life and provide support for family and other caregivers.
It is an interdisciplinary approach designed to meet the physical,
emotional, spiritual and practical needs of people in the last phase of life.
Hospice services may be provided wherever the person resides, be it private home,
nursing home or assisted living facility.
Medicare Part A, most private insurances, Medicaid and private donations, covers
hospice services.
Since 1994,
Pathway Hospice has been providing home based hospice services
in the Western Treasure Valley including communities in Malheur
and Baker Counties
in Oregon, and communities in Payette, Washington and Canyon counties in Idaho.
