HSHS Hospice
Our team at HSHS Hospice Southern Illinois delivers our promise to provide high-quality Franciscan healthcare through two programs: Supportive Care and Hospice Care.
The goal of Supportive Care is to improve how a patient functions each day as well as improve his or her quality of life throughout the course of their life-limiting illness. Supportive Care addresses physical, emotional and spiritual concerns when patients and their families are coping with their illness. Timely attention to early management of symptoms has been shown to increase quality of life, improve function, and even extend ones length of life. Supportive Care can be delivered at any stage of illness beginning at the time of diagnosis. Supportive care can be provided while they are receiving curative or life-prolonging medical treatment. Such treatments may include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
Hospice is a comprehensive program that focuses on quality of life. We recognize dying as part of the normal process of living. We affirm life and neither hasten nor postpone death. Hospice provides support and care for individuals and their loved ones as they face the last phases of a life‑limiting illness.
Our interdisciplinary hospice team includes advance nurse practitioners, registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, licensed social workers, chaplains, and volunteers.
We also offer the Everlasting Memories program to patients on our hospice service. This program allows us to grant wishes to our patients and provide them with an item or event to cherish in their final moments.
