Sharp offers hospice and palliative care to patients and families in need in San Diego.

Sharp HospiceCare provides comprehensive end-of-life hopsice care, specialized palliative care and compassionate support for people with a serious life-limiting illness that have decided to forego further curative treatment in favor of comfort measures.
