The Hospice Concept. Hospice is a concept of caring derived from medieval times, symbolizing a place where travelers, pilgrims and the sick, wounded or dying could find rest and comfort.

Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life. The dying are comforted.
