- Non-profit hospices prioritize patient well-being over financial gain, ensuring high-quality care without compromising on resources.

A new era of non-profit hospice care
The increasing commercialization of hospice care has raised concerns about the prioritization of financial gain over patient well-being. For-profit hospices, driven by profit motives, may prioritize cost-cutting measures that could compromise the quality of care provided to patients.
This could lead to reduced staffing levels, limited access to essential medications and therapies, and a decline in overall patient satisfaction. In contrast, non-profit hospices, like Chapters Health West, are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care without the pressure of maximizing profits.
They prioritize the needs of patients and their families, ensuring that they receive the highest quality of care, regardless of their ability to pay.
By focusing on patient well-being and community support, non-profit hospices like Chapters Health West strive to uphold the core values of hospice care and provide a dignified and compassionate end-of-life experience.
