Heartland Hospice - Central Wisconsin

Heartland Hospice provides care to patients wherever they call home. Every patient receives individualized care. Our care team work with patients to create individualized care plans and set personal goals. Our care team encourages patients to make the right decisions on their own behalf and help fill their lives with meaningful experiences. Pain and symptoms are managed so patients can be as comfortable as possible. Our social workers and spiritual care coordinator's help patients and families share thoughts, hopes, concerns and dreams. We take our roles in our patients' lives very seriously. Their dignity must be preserved, and respect always shown to them. Everyone experiences a life-long health care journey. We support our patients and their families wherever they are on that journey, and promise to uphold their wishes, goals and values.

Our hospice volunteers offer support, socialization, and companionship. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you are best suited to perform. The tasks of volunteers can include helping with office support tasks at the agency, staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest, reading, going for a walk, playing a card game, playing music or providing a loving presence at bedside during the final hours.
