Hospice Care

CMH Hospice provides palliative care and hospice services.

Palliative care is specialized care with a focus on symptom management for people with chronic illness. For our patients, we focus on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of their illnesses. The goal is to improve quality of life, creating peace of mind for both the patient and family.

Hospice care manages pain and other symptoms of disease when a cure is no longer sought. The care enables patients to live an alert, pain-free life so their final months and weeks are peaceful and dignified. Our team of healthcare professionals provides medical and nursing care and emotional, spiritual and bereavement support for patients and families.

The patient's physician must call our offices at 417-326-3585 for admission to the CMH Hospice program for palliative care or hospice care.

The Palliative Care Program gives guidance and support to patients and their families to determine and implement goals of care through chronic illness. Palliative care allows a patient to enjoy the highest quality of life throughout the illness.

Palliative care services include:

• Pain and symptom management
• Resources related to care and treatment
• Help defining treatment goals
• Facilitate discussions with physicians and family
• Advance Health Care Directive
• Facilitate transition to Hospice care when the patient is no longer seeking curative treatment.
