Samaritan Hospice Transitions Program

A hospice transition program helps seriously ill patients and their families manage symptoms at home after moving from the hospital. Transition programs include a qualified hospice team who works with hospital staff and primary care physicians to help patients adjust to being at home and make the transition easier for the family.
