Jennie's guest today is Rita Hagen, RN, MSN who has been the Executive Director of Hospice Alliance since 2012 and provides leadership and strategic direction for Hospice Alliance's hospice and supportive care management programs. She brings with her over 30 years of healthcare experience, with nearly 25 of those being in leadership roles in Kenosha and Racine.
For nearly 40 years, Hospice Alliance has been committed to providing hospice care, taking the philosophy to the next level, caring for patients as well as their caregivers.Hospice care should be considered when a patient has a life-limiting illness and curative treatment is no longer being sought.
A simple phone call to Hospice Alliance by a doctor, social worker, family member, friend or even the patient him or herself, will set into motion a team of care providers including an Admissions Nurse, Medical Director, Circle of Care Manager, RN Case Manager, Social Worker, Chaplain and Certified Nursing Assistant. As a care plan is developed, Hospice Alliance continues to work closely with the patient’s primary care physician who continues to oversee care.
This team, along with our dedicated volunteers are committed to supporting patients and their caregivers in “adding life to days” for those in our care.
