Catholic Hospice care
We are, proudly, Kansas City's ONLY Catholic Hospice.
What makes our care Catholic?
Finding authentically Catholic care can be a challenge. In a world of for-profit Hospice services, we are seeking to ensure that we put human dignity and patient care above all else. What makes Catholic Community Health Catholic?
- We strictly adhere to the Ethical & Religious Directives for Catholic Healthcare services (the ERDs)
- We have full-time Deacon Chaplains on staff that see to your loved one's spiritual needs
- Our staff and volunteers are trained to see to the Spiritual needs of those in our care
- Our Hospice House features a Blessed Sacrament Chapel, so the Eucharist is ever present in our facility
The Catholic understanding of healthcare is rooted in the basic scriptural understanding that the healing mission of Jesus touched people at the deepest level of who they were, and included their physical, mental and spiritual healing. As a Catholic-sponsored healthcare system, Catholic Community Health is committed to caring for the whole person - body, mind and soul. We offer holistic care to all of our residents and their families, according to their personal preferences and religious traditions.
