The mission of Heartland Hospice is to provide quality care to patients with a limited life expectancy and also support their caregivers.The quality of life for those we serve is enhanced through palliative & specialized supportive care designed to meet their physical, psychosocial, social & spiritual needs. Care is delivered to patients either in their own home or in extended care facilities; working cooperatively with area health care providers & other community resources. Heartland Hospice strives to provide care to all who are eligible & need hospice care irrespective of ability to pay.

Description:
Hospice focuses on enhancing the quality of life, rather than the length of life. The hospice program stresses human values that go beyond the physical needs of the patient. Hospice ensures that patients spend their final days in dignity & comfort. Our program utilizes a team approach to meet the physical, social & spiritual needs of our clients. This team includes the medical director, attending physician, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, spiritual counselors, bereavement counselor and volunteers.
