What makes PruittHealth Hospice Different?

P

ruittHealth Hospice has been providing palliative care both in the home and/or a care center setting since 1993. Services begin and end with compassion and the preservation of dignity and comfort. Resources are available to patients 7 days a week and include certified professional consulting on pain management, wound care, pharmaceutical care and advanced clinical nursing. Quality of life treatments such as palliative radiation and chemo, blood transfusions and IV Therapy are covered services. PruittHealth Hospice also has an on-call policy that allows patients and family to call for a visit from an RN to provide a handson assessment when conditions change. This on-call process is part of the proprietary Uni-Guard Program as a way to prevent unnecessary re-hospitalizations for our patients.
