Ohio’s Hospice of Miami County

Ohio’s Hospice of Miami County is a community-based not-for-profit organization founded in 1983 to “Improve the quality of life for people and families facing life-limiting illnesses.”  Our goal is to be the leader in quality comfort and bereavement care in Miami County. Services are provided to anyone who qualifies regardless of the patient’s insurance coverage or ability to pay.

Ohio’s Hospice of Miami County offers support and comfort care designed to allow our patients and their families to make the most of the time that remains to them. At hospice we identify and honor the preferences of the patient and family through careful attention to their values, goals and priorities, as well as their cultural and spiritual perspectives. We place a high priority on physical comfort and functional capacity including, but not limited to: expert management of pain and other symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of psychological stress, and assistance in remaining as independent as possible or desired. Hospice care does not hasten death, but affirms life. Recent studies have indicated that Hospice care contributes to prolonging life in some patients.
