Coming Together for What Matters Most

Our seniors hold a very special place in our hearts. While SouthernCare Hospice and Gentiva Hospice may serve as competitors in the field, we’re a part of the same family with one shared mission: to provide compassionate care and dignity to those we serve.

On Saturday, our teams joined forces at the Lawrence County Senior Expo to show that when it comes to the people of our community, we always come together where it counts the most.

What a pleasure it was to talk with so many folks about their Medicare hospice benefit. It filled our cups to hear the many heartfelt stories shared by family members of those we’ve cared for in the past.

If you’d like to know more about your hospice benefit, we’re always available at 812.334.8343.
