Kellen Latchem's Company Details
Hospice of Southern Illinois is a free-standing, community-based hospice program serving 27 counties in southern Illinois, including all of the St. Louis Metro-East. With over 30 years of experience providing hospice care exclusively, Hospice of Southern Illinois is a not-for-profit corporation that provides care regardless of the patient's insurance coverage or ability to pay. Hospice is a special healthcare option for patients and families who are faced with a terminal illness. Care focuses on pain and symptom management with the goal of enhancing the quality of life. At Hospice of Southern Illinois, meeting the needs of patients and families is a priority. When is it time for hospice? 1) The patient has a terminal illness with a prognosis of 6 months or less, 2) Comfort care and symptom management become the primary focus, 3) Curative treatment is no longer the patient's choice or option.
