One in four hospice patients in our country is a Veteran who served in various wars: WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Persian Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq, or served our military in peacetime.

As a Veteran, you can honor our hospice Veterans by sharing your stories and by providing a special tribute with a pinning ceremony for their dedication and service to our armed forces.

In addition, our Veteran patients truly enjoy the companionship from a fellow Veteran. Your commitment could be 1-2 hours per week.

If you’d like to be a part of honoring our military service men and women at the end of life, please contact the ProHealth Volunteer Department at 877-977-6432 or fill out an online volunteer application HERE: https://www.volgistics.com/appform/1066895971

Mission Statement

HOSPICE AFFIRMS LIFE - Hospice exists to provide support and care for persons in the last phases of a life-limiting illness so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice exists in the belief that through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community, patients, and family/caregivers will be free to attain a degree of mental preparation for death that is satisfying to them. VALUES - ProHealth Home Care and Hospice recognizes these values and their roles in fulfilling this mission. COMMITTED TO PATIENTS - We recognize the unique physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of each person receiving hospice care in the home. We strive to extend the highest level of courtesy, safety, and service to patients and family/caregivers, visitors, and each other.

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.
