Mission Statement
Heartland Hospice is a growth company dedicated to providing compassionate, high quality home health care.

We value strong, mutually beneficial relationships with our referral sources, employees, clients and their families, and the community at large.
Description
Our volunteer program caters to the needs of our Hospice patients. Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide comfort care as well as spiritual and emotional support for people in the final phase of a terminal illness. Hospice focuses on enhancing the quality of life, rather than length of life. It neither hastens nor postpones death; it affirms life and regards dying as a normal process. 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 and comfort.
