Hospice Inpatient Facility

In 1994, the Hospice Board determined that it should pursue the development of a Hospice Center for short and/or long term residential stays and for episodes of acute patient care as needed. A Hospice Steering Committee was appointed to create a master plan, raise funds for the facility and see the building project to completion.

A collaborative arrangement was formed with the Columbus Regional Hospital Foundation to work together to raise the needed 4.9 million dollars to build the Hospice Center. A Capital Campaign Committee was formed and the fund drive was officially launched at the Hospice annual Concert held on September 1, 2000.

Construction began on the new Hospice Center in November 2002. The 32,000 square foot building with a 12,000 square foot basement includes:

  • Fourteen private patient rooms on the ground floor
  • A bereavement center to serve families and community members
  • An educational center for the community and health care providers on end-of-life issues and pain and symptom control
  • Office space for 35 clinical personnel who serve an average of 90 patients per day. In addition, it houses office space for 15 administrative personnel who serve the entire 15 county service area.

The first patient was admitted on February 17, 2004 in the new inpatient facility.  The number of patients cared for in the facility continues to increase, and in 2009, 421 patients received inpatient care.
