Northern Illinois Hospice

Northern Illinois Hospice We were the first hospice provider in our region and one of the first 50 hospices in the nation. While all hospices in the U.S. The answer is yes.

are mandated by the federal government to provide certain services to terminally ill individuals, not all hospices are the same. We were one of the first hospices in the United States, and since 1979, thousands of families have turned to us for quality end of life care. We often hear from area physicians and nursing facilities we provide hospice care the way it should be done. What matters most to all families is whether we will take care of their loved ones in the best way possible. That is our commitment to you.

His program was the keynote for the ADMIT Rockford meeting that we hosted earlier today. Dr. Carey who is the Senior Director of Pharmacy Services for UW Health Northern Illinois and serves on our Board of Directors, delivered an informative and engaging session!

Thanks, Dr. Carey, and everyone who joined us this morning.
