Two types of hospices exist: medical and volunteer. Medical hospices are constrained by Medicare regulations. Volunteer hospices fill in the gaps that those regulations leave, providing flexible, supportive care. The community that is served by both medical and volunteer hospice programs offers truly comprehensive care to the dying and their families.
