Delta Health Hospice - Greenville

The Medical Center Hospice is the hospice program of Delta Health System, the hospital in Greenville. The hospice page names five counties: Bolivar, Issaquena, Sharkey, Sunflower, and Washington. Registered nurses visit for assessment and instruction. Aides help with personal care. A social worker talks with the family about community resources and money questions. A chaplain is available, and the page says the family's own beliefs are respected. Therapy, a pharmacist on call, and the attending doctor are part of the support the page lists for pain and other symptoms. Bereavement support continues for at least a year and includes an annual memorial. Someone answers (662) 725-1200 at any hour. The page says a person qualifies when a doctor expects the illness to last six months or less and a caregiver, or a written plan of care, is in place. The hospital's main campus and its pavilion are not this hospice location.
