Many are surprised that not all hospice organizations are the same. While all hospices must operate under the same Medicare guidelines and State regulations, there are some characteristics that differentiate hospice programs and hospice administrators may interpret the regulations differently. Hospices can differ upon service area, profit vs. non-profit status, services available and so forth - so what makes Hospice of Helping Hands different?

• We are CHAP accredited (Community Health Accreditation Program)
• We are a non-profit organization and are able to spend every penny at the patient bedside as we do not have to pay shareholders

• We provide free educational opportunities to our community
