VALUES - ProHealth Home Care and Hospice recognizes these values and their roles in fulfilling this mission.

Description
ProHealth Home Care and Hospice provides an individualized program of physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical care for people in the last phases of a life-limiting illness, with the emphasis on pain management and other symptoms. The program is reflective of a spirit and idea of caring that emphasizes comfort and dignity for the dying, making it possible for them to remain independent for as long as possible, in familiar surroundings. Hospice care is centered on both the patient and family / caregiver. Hospice personnel respect and respond to the unique differences in family / caregiver, lifestyle, values, and wishes.
Utilizing an interdisciplinary group approach of physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, homemakers, hospice aides, volunteers, spiritual counselors, bereavement counselors, and others, ProHealth Home Care and Hospice provides palliative care in the home, short-term inpatient services, mobilization and coordination of ancillary services, and bereavement support. Services will be equitably distributed to a medically and financially diversified group of patients in a cost-effective manner which ensures adherence to the goals of ProHealth Home Care and Hospice and the maintenance of the financial solvency of the organization.
