CTMC Hospice Care

CTMC Hospice Care, a non-profit organization, is a department of Central Texas Medical Center in San Marcos, Texas. We care for terminally ill patients who have less than 6 months to live. CTMC Hospice Care recognizes death as the final stage of life and is devoted to serving patients and families through compassionate, supportive, holistic care, with respect for their dignity and individuality, seeking to enhance all of their life.

Central Texas Medical Center is a full-service hospital. We believe that healing truly involves more than just the body and our medical capabilities. For us, healing requires love, support, and a long term commitment to improving one’s own well-being.

We are part of a national network of hospitals and health care facilities committed to serving our communities. Our religious origins serve as an inspiration to us. Our faith motivates us in our quest to serve, heal and save precious lives.
