Know Your Rights
Hospice palliative care providers support an integrated approach to care focused on the right of individual choice in determining how to
address your unique needs and desires for support. They adhere to a standard set of criteria that recognize the importance of
individuals in the provision of care. The Dorothy Ley Hospice respects the rights of each individual, caregiver and family member.
