Mnay: Doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists and clergy. The family is also part of the care team in many cases, but can be helped by the program as well.

Hospice services: All hospices deliver a similar set of services. They include nursing, assistance with caregivers on a limited basis, chaplaincy, bereavement counseling, social worker and physician care (medical director in many cases). You are covered for many services and this includes medications related to your terminal diagnosis.
