Our staff can assist you in verifying individual coverage and checking with your employer or health insurance provider. To the extent possible, Guthrie Hospice is committed to offering services based upon need, rather than ability to pay. Insurance policies rarely cover the full cost of care. As a non-profit organization, we rely on individual and community support as important financial resources. You can be part of the Guthrie Hospice team by contributing your time as a volunteer.
Volunteers provide clerical support as well as direct services to patients and their families.
Our complete training program prepares volunteers to make the most of their hospice experience, and we offer training sessions throughout our service area at various times throughout the year. Guthrie Hospice Staff Medical Director Our medical director consults with the staff and the patient's own physician concerning admission and care. Nurses Professional nurses are at the core of hospice care coordinating the needs for the patient, assisting the family, providing direct care, and educating the family. The hospice social worker is available for counseling and support to the patient and family. She can also provide advice and advocacy with community resources when specific needs and concerns are identified.
