End of Life Care



Hospice care provides end-of-life care when the patient’s condition is considered terminal and the patient is no longer receiving curative treatment. The hospice team works with patients to manage pain and symptoms so that their remaining time may be spent in peace and dignity.

Dedicated to quality of life, hospice offers a support system of professional staff and volunteers who assist the patient and their family in meeting their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Hospice care stresses the importance of human needs that go beyond the physical care of the patient. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death; hospice affirms life and regards dying as a normal process.

Seasons of Life Hospice Home

For individuals who are unable to remain at home during their final months of life, Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services provides care to patients at our hospice home in Woodruff. The peaceful residence is tucked in a scenic wooded area on the edge of town. Your generous donations will help to ensure that the building and grounds continue to provide a peaceful place for patients and their families.



Our goal to support this campaign is ongoing. Please help us make a difference in our community.
