We Are Your End-of-Life Specialists

The staff of Rainbow Hospice recognizes that great variation exists between health care professionals in terms of their hospice/palliative care training and experience.  That's why we've created a special section on our website intended for doctors, nurses, social workers and administrators who are working in the clinic, hospital, skilled nursing and assisted living settings.  Here you will find information and tools designed to help you better understand the nature of our work, prognosticate about end-of-life and communicate the value of hospice to patients and families.

"End-of-life care is less about science than about humanity, the human connections among patient and physician and family.  Too many doctors today are not trained for that reality.  It is inescapable, however; it looms in their future as practitioners, it awaits in their fate as mortals."

-Stephen P. Kiernan
