PALLIATIVE CARE
WHY ENROLL?
Community Palliative Care (CPC) with Hospice of North Idaho focuses on expert services that provide care consultation with primary and specialty providers, allowing patients to determine the goals that will improve their quality of life and can be provided at any stage of illness. CPC is a team concept, working with patients and their support network to identify strengths and weaknesses in the current plan and navigate the next steps. Our services are provided in the patient’s home setting.

LIVE FULLY
Individuals often need support to see that living with a life-limiting illness does not have to limit their quality of life. With this in mind, the palliative care team works with the individual and their support system to create goals related to the life they want to live outside of their diagnosis.
HIGH VALUE AT A LOW COST
Community Palliative Care services are billed through individual’s Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance. Individuals may be financially responsible for deductibles, co-payments, and/or co-insurance amounts. Hospice of North Idaho is a nonprofit 501(c)3. If you need assistance with palliative care copays, don’t hesitate to contact our palliative care staff. Our mission is to provide high-quality care without adding to financial stress.
