“Dreams do come true for new Home Care and Hospice Foundation of Pike County after two years.”
This was the heading for the Louisiana Press Journal’s June 20, 2001 article about the creation of the foundation.
Since that first meeting on April 25th, 2001, the foundation, with its donations, has helped over 3,000 patients and community citizens. “Donations have been used for care of indigent patients, to pay for costly medications that patients need to maintain a level of comfort in the dying process. In addition, blood transfusions needed to enhance quality of life that are not reimbursed under the Medicare benefit have been paid for through the donation account.”
Mr. Siefkas, Chairman of the board of directors, said “Now the dream continues that this area can have Hospice and Home Health services that are adequately funded and able to provide the best services to the patients regardless of ability to pay.”
Pike County Health Department, Home Health & Hospice has a passionate staff that are all dedicated to providing the necessary care to their community. Patient care will continue to be greatly enhanced with the financial support of the foundation. – Louisiana Press Journal
