Hospice care is a patient and family-centered approach to medical care and support for people who are near the end of life. The hospice care team includes, a doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers. In addition, family is considered an essential part of hospice care, and we encourage loved ones to be involved.

The interdisciplinary Hospice of New Mexico team consists of:
