This statistic displays the distribution of United States hospice patients by race in 2017. In that year, 8.2 percent of hospice patients were Black or African American. Hospices provide medical care, pain management, as well as emotional and spiritual support. However, care for a patient is emphasized in a hospice where hospice staff typically visits a patient.
