OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Caring for Patients and Families
When Hospice & Palliative Care was founded in 1977, almost every patient we provided care to had a cancer
diagnosis. Today, we serve patients from newborn to over 100 years old with any end stage illness. In 2018 we
served 6 patients under the age of 17 as well as 6 patients over 100 years old. Our professionally trained staff are
respected and trusted by those we serve and we are privileged to be welcomed into their lives. In 2018, patients
came on to hospice services with the following diagnoses:
2018 Primary Diagnoses
Cancer – 47% Other - 10% Liver/ Digestive - 4%
Lung/ Respiratory - 15% Dementia/ Alzheimer’s Disease - 8% Motor Neuron – 1%
Heart/ Circulatory – 12% Stroke - 3%
Quality Achievements
Hospice & Palliative Care received Hospice Honors Elite Status for the 2nd year in a row from HEALTHCAREfirst.
HEALTHCAREfirst announced the recipients of its 2019 Hospice Honors at the National Hospice and Palliative
Care Organization’s Leadership & Advocacy Conference. The Prestigious Hospice Honors program recognizes
hospices providing quality of care from the caregivers’ point of view. Based on feedback from caregivers them-
selves, the Hospice Honors recognizes agencies who truly stand out based on level of care and commitment
displayed to their patients and their caregivers.
