Darrell Maze, Chaplain Aultman Compassionate Care Center

Hospice care is designed to help terminally ill people live out their final days in as much comfort as possible. The practical application of palliative care, in most cases, focuses on alleviating physical pain. But there are other elements involved.  Emotional, psychological, and spiritual comfort all take on vital importance at the end of life. Faith may take precedence over everything else in these moments. No matter what a hospice patient believes, the interconnected concepts of mind, body, and soul are deeply ingrained across most cultures. When faced with their own mortality, people often feel an urgent need to get their spiritual affairs in order. At its best, hospice care can allow patients to incorporate faith into their life during their final days as much or as little as they desire. This morning, Darrell will talk with us about his role as a hospice chaplain at Aultman Hospital. https://www.medshoprx.com
