The Unseen Architecture of Hospice

“Hospice is often described in terms of measurable services: pain management, interdisciplinary teams, comfort-focused care, equipment delivered, and hours spent at the bedside. These are accurate, but they capture only the exterior framework. What truly defines hospice is something far less visible — an architecture made not of walls and doors but of intention, presence, and human connection. It shapes the experience of dying not through physical design but through the emotional and spiritual space it creates.” Read more about the unseen architecture of hospice from Christopher Smith here.
