Specialized Care at Home
Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta's hospice
program provides medical, emotional and spiritual support for
terminally ill patients. Care is primarily based in the home,
allowing families to stay together. Led by the patient's
physician, the caregiver team includes the hospice medical
director, hospice nurse, home health aide, social worker, chaplain
and volunteers.
Medicare, Medi-Cal and most private insurance
plans cover hospice services, and we rely heavily on community
support to fund services for patients with little or no
insurance. For further information call (530) 926-6111 Ext
