North Hawaii Hospice - Eligibility

North Hawaii Hospice

What we do

Is North Hawaii Hospice Care the right choice for me?

To be eligible for NHH assistance a patient needs to:

Understand they are in the final stages of life
Have a physician referral to NHH
Have a family member, relative or friend agree to be the primary caregiver in the home
Agree medical treatment will focus on palliative or comfort care to reduce pain and manage symptoms, rather than on treatment to cure the illness
Have a physician who will follow hospice guidelines and work with hospice staff
Live in North Kohala, South Kohala or the Hamakua District on the Island of Hawaii

Certain health concerns can indicate that hospice may be an appropriate option. See When's Right for a list of these indicators.

We are available to discuss
