This week, we celebrate National Volunteer Week and shine a spotlight on the extraordinary contributions our teams of Hospice volunteers make in the lives of our patients and their families.

Their dedication brings comfort, companionship and unwavering support to those who need it most. We are grateful for the powerful ways they enrich the experience for those we care for every day. Thank you for your invaluable contributions!

Four weeks have passed since our transition to CommonSpirit, and we'd like to take a moment to update the community: Good Samaritan Hospice is still accepting new patients and is honored to continue serving the community. While some adjustments have been necessary, including a new office location (new address on flyer), new charting systems, and revised processes, many things remain the same. Our phone numbers and fax numbers (numbers listed on flyer) remain unchanged, and our team continues to deliver exceptional patient care. Our nurses, nursing assistants, and social workers are still dedicated to providing the same level of care and compassion. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us by phone or in person. We thank you for your support and understanding during this transition.

We’re excited to announce the new location of Palliative Care at Good Samaritan!

Palliative Care at Good Samaritan is now located at:
📍 429 S 6th Street
📞 812-885-8690
👩‍⚕️ Tricia Ochs, ANP-C

Palliative care is a supportive layer of care — working alongside your provider to manage pain, stress, fatigue, and other symptoms of serious illness. Ask your provider about palliative services at your next visit if you feel you need additional support.

It doesn’t replace your treatment.
It adds support.

We had such a great turnout on Tuesday for our Annual Light Up a Life memorial service.

We want to thank everyone who was able to join us. We are honored to have been able to spend the evening with you as we memorialized your loved ones. This is such a meaningful and special event for those involved and it is a privilege for our staff to host each year.

Thanks again,
GSH Hospice Team

Happy retirement to Rob and Suzi today. They have been a benefit not only to the hospital as a whole, but to our hospice program as well. We wish them well, from the GSH Hospice team!

Join us in congratulating Rob McLin, CEO, and his Administrative Assistant, Suzi Sievers, on their well deserved retirements from Good Samaritan! Today is their last day after 34 and 36 years, respectively. We wish them both well in their retirements!
