Hospice is not a place; it is a concept or care for those who have live limiting illnesses. Even when medicine cannot provide a cure, it can offer comfort care, and assistance that helps maintain a better quality of life for the patient.

安宁院不仅仅是一个栖息地。那是一种给予生命终极时刻关爱的理念。即便此时对于疾病已无良药，关怀却可以给到我们此时更具意义的需求而始我们更有质量的走完人生的旅程。

Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones the end of life. It is predicated on the belief that through sensitivity, appropriate care, and the support of a caring community, terminally ill patients and their families can begin to prepare, mentally and spiritually, to face the inevitable challenges ahead.

临终关怀事业肯定生命的意义，既不加速也不减缓生命的终结。它是通过注重细节适当的护理并向遭受绝症的患者及其家人提供社区关怀来帮助他们无论是在思想上还是在属灵上提早做好即将所要面对的巨变的准备。
