Hospice Care
The purpose of hospice is to provide support and care for people in the final phase of a terminal disease, so they can live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice services are available in the home and in the nursing-home setting.
Any terminally ill person residing in Stark County and surrounding areas is eligible for the program. Aultman Hospice provides telephone consultations and home visits as needed on a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week basis. Call 330-479-4805 or 1-800-628-4302. The Aultman Hospice office is located at Aultman Woodlawn.

Inpatient and Outpatient Palliative Care
Palliative care is the comprehensive management of patients' physical, emotional, psychosocial and spiritual needs. It can be part of treatment for any person with a serious or life-threatening medical condition. Palliative care seeks to relieve patients' suffering, control symptoms and restore functional capacity while remaining sensitive to personal, cultural and religious practices.
Aultman offers a new Inpatient Palliative Care Unit, located on the third floor of the main hospital.
Palliative care is also available in patients' homes or nursing-care facilities. Members of the outpatient Palliative Care Team are available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Download our brochure for more information or call 330-479-4805 or 1-800-628-430. The outpatient Aultman Palliative Care office is located at Aultman Woodlawn.
