The term “hospice” is derived from the medieval word meaning a place of shelter for travelers on difficult journeys. Today, this term is used to describe programs that are designed to control and relieve the suffering of the terminally ill. Originating in Britain in the mid-60’s, the hospice concept has gained widespread acceptance in the United States in recent years.

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Hospice provides its services without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, creed, age, sex or handicap.

The goal of Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Hospice is that the patient will remain as active and independent as possible and die with dignity.
