To carry one another’s burdens, and in this way, fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:2
Hospice affirms the concept of palliative care as an intensive program that enhances comfort and promotes the quality of life for individuals and their families. When cure is no longer possible, hospice recognizes that peace and comfort is an essential goal of healthcare.
About us:
We are a clinician-owned and operated agency. This means the investors of our hospice agency are composed of nurses, doctors, nurse practitioners, social workers, chaplains and a pharmacist. They are knowledgeable about patient care and understand the day to day struggles faced by all disciplines in providing patient care. Our goal is to provide the best care possible with our main focus being our patients.
Not only are we a clinician-owned and operated agency, we are also LOCALLY owned and operated. All of our investors are proud to call Southeast Texas home. This adds emphasis to our patient-driven goal because our patients are our neighbors. Our community is important to us, and we want to serve our communities in the best way possible.
How we are different:
When the idea of a clinician-owned and operated hospice first began, it was with two issues in mind:
1. Who can provide better care to patients at the end of their lives than seasoned hospice clinicians?
2. Who can take better care of the employees than seasoned hospice clinicians who have been in the daily struggle of caring for patients?
We truly understand the concept and importance of patient care. Olive Branch Hospice stands out from larger corporations due to the medical background of everyone involved from the owners, investors, and healthcare providers to the social workers and chaplain. This isn’t simply a business for us: it’s a passion. After working for years in the field as medical professionals, we know that it is crucial for our employees to be taken care of, so that they can, in turn, take the best possible care of their patients.
As we continue to grow, we will maintain a low nurse-to-patient ratio in order to reduce staff workload, stress, and burn-out and increase morale, well-being, and bedside time with each patient and family that we serve. This uncommon practice will result in a better quality of care and attention that goes above and beyond what is expected with larger corporations.
