What is Hospice?

For more than 25 years Beloit Regional Hospice has dedicated itself to a special way of providing comfort and quality of life for patients when prolongation of life is no longer the goal. Emphasis is placed on the alleviation of pain and other symptoms that include the physical, social, and spiritual needs of the dying person as well as the social and spiritual needs of the family and others caring for the patient. Hospice care involves a team-oriented approach, which includes physicians, nurses, home health aides, social workers, clergy and volunteers who work together to plan and coordinate care.

Beloit Regional Hospice staff and volunteers spend each and every day committed to the mission of the organization: To help make each moment of remaining life as full and as comfortable as possible. Family and friends provide care in the patient’s home with the support of members of the BRH team. Staff members are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
