We are excited to celebrate Home Care & Hospice Month during the month of November. This is the time to recognize and celebrate the people — from administrators to clinicians to social workers and volunteers — who bring exceptional healthcare into the homes of some of the most vulnerable patients in our community. They make an everlasting impact on the lives of the patients and families they serve.

Julie Sampson, Director of Home Health, Hospice & Home Connections adds, “I am beyond blessed to work with such an outstanding team of home health and hospice caregivers here at Prairie Lakes. As difficult as our work can be, it is truly a blessing to serve people in their homes, which is where they want to be. And, when it comes to end of life care, we consider it a gift and an honor to care for patients and families, making that final journey the very best that’s possible medically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
