Cafarnaum Hospice offers care for those suffering from terminal illnesses, especially AIDS. The program is aimed especially at those people who do not have the resources to pay for medical treatment in other institutions, recognizing that they also suffer marginalization and rejection from society and even from their families on account of the disease. It is the only palliative care program in Quintana Roo.
As well as caring directly for patients living in the Home, the staff visit sick people in their homes and work hard to increase levels of awareness about health issues and HIV—AIDS in particular.
