What makes HNCO different?
Non-Profit Hospice
HNCO is non-profit, reinvesting ALL revenue into serving local families, not owners’ pockets or out-of-town based networks.
Proven Provider of Excellent Care
HNCO meets or exceeds the national averages for almost every quality-based outcome. We outscore most all of our competitors, and we are CHAP accredited, going beyond the basic standards of care. (See for yourself at www.medicare.gov/hospicecompare.)
Care for Everyone
HNCO provides care to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.
Palliative Care
Our Life’s Seasons Palliative Care (for those with chronic illness) is provided by certified nurse practitioners.
Grief Support for Children
Children grieve differently, so we provide free grief support tailored to children through programs, summer camps, school groups, and individual counseling.
Community Connections
HNCO is invested in the local community. $750,000 is responsibly endowed in local foundations in the communities we serve.
Vigil Volunteers
The mission of the Vigil Program is to serve those patients who are at risk of dying alone. Our vigil volunteers are present during the last 48 hours of life to provide support, comfort and a sacred space.
Community Grief Support
Ongoing grief care, including workshops, support groups, counseling and public memorial services, are offered for free not only to the families in our program, but to anyone in the community.
Hospice Help for Children
Unlike many hospices, Hospice of North Central Ohio is certified to provide pediatric hospice care.
