To help patients live peacefully and at ease during one of life’s most vulnerable moments, Center for Hospice Care (CHC) welcomes all with open arms to its HeartWize program. Through the program, the CHC staff develops individualized plans with each patient and their loved ones to help them manage heart failure and other heart diseases, allowing patients to receive quality care in the comfort of their own homes without the worry of a hospital visit. “When their symptoms are not managed promptly, it gets to the point that patients can't breathe. When a patient can't breathe, the very first thing they're going to want to do is go to the hospital,” said Director of Nursing Chrissy Madlem. “It's important that we teach them the techniques to manage these end-of-life care symptoms that they're dealing with so they can stay home and be comfortable with their families.”
