Arkansas Hospice is the state’s largest hospice organization. Since its inception, the community-based, nonprofit organization has grown from one location to eight offices and three inpatient centers that serve more than 500 patients each day throughout more than 43 counties. As a nonprofit organization, Arkansas Hospice has a special commitment to patients and families in rural areas of the state, minorities, and other underserved populations, providing the same high-quality care to all, regardless of ability to pay. Arkansas Hospice is the state’s only Level 4 Partner with We Honor Veterans, a nationwide program that focuses on improving care for veterans nearing end-of-life. We are also the first hospice in the nation to employ a fully accredited veteran’s claims agent to help veterans secure the VA benefits they deserve. Arkansas Palliative Care, a subsidiary of Arkansas Hospice, was formed in 2015 to make palliative care services available to patients earlier in their disease process. Last year alone, we served almost 500 patients through our first community partnership with Unity Health – White County Medical Center. Arkansas Hospice is the only hospice in the state to have a dedicated pediatric team. Our pediatric program cared for the end-of-life needs of over 30 children and their families in fiscal year 2016. Over the last 25 years, Arkansas Hospice has won multiple awards for its service to Arkansans, most recently being named the Best Nonprofit/Charitable Organization in the 2016 Arkansas Business Best of Business Awards. In addition, Arkansas Hospice’s signature event, A Fair to Remember, was chosen as the Best Nonprofit Fundraising Event in 2016 For more information, please call (toll-free) 877-713-2348 or visit www.arkansashospice.org.
