Hospice care is specially designed for a person whose illness cannot be cured. Hospice is a supportive, life-affirming approach to meeting the special needs of terminally ill people, their families and their caregivers.

Scott & White Hospice is a non-profit, hospital hospice program and part of the nationally recognized Scott & White healthcare organization. Our experienced staff provides services throughout beautiful Central Texas, including a nine county area surrounding Temple.

Our specially trained staff provides compassionate, quality care to adults, children and infants facing the advancing stages of any life-threatening illness. Also, Scott & White Hospice services includes spiritual and emotional support to patients and their loved ones.

Our goal is not to lengthen or shorten the natural course of life but to make the most of the life that lies ahead.

Hospice care, typically provided in the person's home or in a home-like setting, focuses on both the patient and family:

• To control pain and other uncomfortable symptoms
• To treat the physical, emotional and spiritual needs

Scott & White Hospice is a Texas Licensed Hospice, Medicare-Certified, Medicaid-Certified, Non-profit 501(c)(3) Organization. We are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of HealthCare Organizations (JCAHO).
