Description

St. Vincent’s Home Health and Hospice serves patients and their families where they live, in their home. Many of our patients come to us for support as a result of a referral from their physician. We help our patients live more fully!
-Home Health patients receive temporary supportive services to help them recover from an injury, surgery, or chronic medical condition.
-Patients who elect to receive the Hospice benefit, have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and receive supportive, comfort care to help manage the symptoms of their disease. Family members and care partners also receive emotional, spiritual and bereavement support.
-Both types of home care are covered by many insurances, Medicaid, and Medicare.

Our Vision: We envision a strong, vibrant health ministry in the United States which will lead to the transformation of healthcare.
