Who We Are
Founded in 1979, Hospice of Warren County is a non-profit, Medicare certified, organization designed to provide
excellent comfort to any terminally-ill patient who:
Resides in Warren County or the surrounding area.
Has approval of his or her physician.
Has a life expectancy of 6 months or less if the illness runs its normal course.
Has a family member or other appropriate person available to assist with continuing care needs and decision-making processes.
Has changed the medical goal from curative to comfort treatment.
Has knowledge of prognosis and has consented to care.
In order to provide such individuals with this level of comfort, Hospice works with each patient, and patient doctor, to design
an individualized program meant to ensure the comfort of the patient, and the comfort of the patient’s family, during their remaining months.
Throughout this individualized program, Hospice employs a team effort. Physicians (led by the program’s Medical Director Dr. Price), certified
registered nurses, social workers, clergy, a nutritionist, bereavement counselors, and 75 specially trained Hospice volunteers all work to keep
patients, and their families, comfortable. Speech, occupational, and physical therapists are also available for assistance.
What services does this team ultimately offer?

Regularly scheduled nursing visits
Registered Nurse on call 24 hours, 7 days a week

Social work services, including assistance with financial matters and social/family concerns

In addition to providing its services regardless of a patient’s race, age, sex, ethnic background, or handicap, Hospice of
Warren County also does not discriminate against patients based on their ability to pay. While the program does accept payments
from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances, community support through United Fund donations, memorial gifts, donations,
bequests, and its membership drive help defray the cost of the extensive Hospice services that are not reimbursed. The success
of the program depends on this invaluable community support. Hospice of Warren County also receives support from groups, such
as the Pennsylvania Hospice Network and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
