Hospice does not provide care aimed at curing the disease. Patients are carefully screened to determine if they are appropriate candidates and are not accepted to the program if it is believed that they could benefit from curative-type treatments. Patients are not excluded who are using non-traditional means to achieve a cure as long as they understand that hospice care is palliative and not curative.
