For many years, the NEK Multi-County Health Department home health and hospice team has had the privilege of caring for patients and families across our communities. We are grateful for the trust placed in our staff and the care provided.
Beginning immediately, NEK is transitioning home health and hospice services so the department can focus its resources on core public health programs, including services such as WIC, immunizations, and other essential public health efforts. Home health and hospice care will continue through Amberwell Home Health and Hospice. NEK and Amberwell have a history of working together to improve community health, and this transition builds on an established collaborative relationship focused on patient care and local access.
Existing home health and hospice patients have already been contacted, and care is continuing with a focus on continuity and local access. Our priority throughout this transition is to ensure patients and families continue receiving the care they need.
If you have questions or would like more information, please call NEK Multi-County Health Department at 913-367-5152.
