Starting hospice care earlier can give patients and families more time for symptom management, emotional support and improved quality of life. While most patients only experience its benefits for days or weeks, hospice is available when a physician certifies a life expectancy of six months or less. Timing makes a meaningful difference.

When a caregiver in the early stages of her IVF pregnancy learned that an expensive, critical medication was suddenly no longer covered by insurance, she turned to Mary Sarrazin, Sr. Benefits Specialist, for help. Mary sprang into action, escalating the issue and advocating until the medication was approved.

Her colleague shared: “Mary’s actions truly demonstrated all of the Amedisys SPIRIT values, especially her passion, integrity and respect. I am thankful to work for a company that has an HR department dedicated to helping their employees.”

Mary exemplifies the dedication and empathy that define our caregivers. Thank you, Mary, for supporting and advocating for a colleague in need.

Amedisys honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



As a healthcare organization, we are committed to providing the best possible care to our patients and their families, employing many of the same principles that Dr. King upheld throughout his life: service, passion, integrity and respect.



Take some time today to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and how we can continue to carry it forward.
