Is this hospice for-profit, non-profit, or government-run — and does it matter?

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
Choosing hospice means shifting the focus of care toward comfort and quality of life rather than curing an illness; it does not mean giving up care or support, and patients continue to receive medical attention for symptom management.
