Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County

Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County Our Vision: Become the leading, all-encompassing community health provider In 1987 we initiated our first "Tree of Remembering" campaign.

Hospice & HomeCare of Reno County began in September 1981 as Hospice of Reno County, an all-volunteer organization located in the basement of the Hutchinson Clinic. Our founders, Dr. David and JoAnn Bouda, believed it was important to offer care to terminally ill patients based on a philosophy followed in the hospices of France - to provide comfort and preserve dignity when conventional methods fail. In 1985, the agency became an affiliate of Health Care, Inc., the umbrella corporation of what is now the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. We earned certification as a home health agency and expanded our services to meet both the homecare and hospice needs of Reno County residents. As a non-profit organization, fundraising is critical to support the services we provide. Years later it evolved into our "Remember Me Tree" campaign and continues to be a major source of funding for the organization today. In 1989 we earned Medicare certification and in 1991 expanded our services to include Rice County and a 30-mile radius outside of Hutchinson. In 1993 we saw a need to develop programs specifically for grieving children. Kids Kamp and Kids Klub have helped area children learn to cope and accept terminal illness and death ever since. In 1996 we opened the Hospice Residential Care Center on the third floor of Hutchinson Regional Hospital, offering care to terminally ill patients who did not have the benefit of a caregiver at home. In the fall of 2002 we moved and expanded these services with the opening of Hospice House, an inpatient home-like setting, that provides end-of-life care for terminally ill patients. Today, our service area encompasses a 50-mile radius outside Hutchinson. With offices in Hutchinson and McPherson, we are conveniently located and remain the only not-for-profit hospice and homecare organization in the area.

Thank you to our staff, Lindsey and Paula, who helped make these final memories happen!

Thank you to our staff, Lindsey and Paula, who helped make these final memories happen!

Mission Moment ✨ Earlier this month, a family experienced an incredibly emotional moment. Two loved ones were receiving care in different settings, one at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center and the other at Hospice House, and the family hoped there might be a way for them to spend meaningful time together.

Without hesitation, care teams from both Hutchinson Regional Medical Center and Hospice House stepped in. Staff coordinated across departments, arranged transportation, and even adjusted personal schedules to ensure a safe and compassionate reunion.

Thanks to this teamwork, the family was able to share quiet moments, hold hands, and connect in a way that brought comfort and peace during their final time together. That sense of connection continued through ongoing support, helping loved ones stay close even in difficult circumstances.

We are proud to recognize Maddy Gatz, RN, Lindsey Mast, RN, and Paula Mendenhall, HHA, as well as Cassie McCarthy, Nursing Director (not pictured) and Aimee Barrett, RN (not pictured), for their dedication, collaboration, and heartfelt commitment to supporting patients and families during life’s most meaningful moments.
