1993
Pike County Hospice was established. It was created as another community program by the Pike County Health Department & Home Health staff and board. This was the first and only Hospice founded right here in Pike County.
2001
The Home Care & Hospice Foundation was created to help our not-for-profit organization fill the financial gaps between the agency’s income and costs, with an overall objective to provide high quality hospice and home health care to every area citizen regardless of ability to pay. Thanks to the generosity of thousands within our communities, our foundation has been able to lift financial burdens that terminal illness sometimes creates for patients, families and loved ones. These gifts have been used to help pay household bills, costs incurred for travel, and made it possible for families to spend the quality of time they deserve with their loved ones.
2017
In 2017 we were able to make a courtesy expansion into our surrounding counties of Audrain, Lincoln, Montgomery and Ralls. This was exciting for us as we are a rural area, we often have patients requesting our services but lived just outside of the Pike County line. Since our expansion was made possible, we are excited to be able to serve more of our communities.
2018
In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of service and unveiled the new logo for our Hospice Program that is separate from our agency (Pike County Health Department Home Health & Hospice) logo. This was done so this program stands out visually, just as much as it does with the compassionate care we provide.
