Hospice of Central Iowa’s Mission:
Quality of life at the end of life through compassionate care for all individuals and their families.

Our Values

• Pursue Excellence
• Act with Integrity, Respect and Dignity
• Focus on Service
• Honor Teamwork

Our Philosophies

• Patient choice and control
• Affirm life
• Neither hasten nor postpone death
• Honor community processes and assets

Our Vision
To be a leader, innovator and navigator in changing the culture of health care and society regarding alternatives for the dying process.

We will be highly respected and widely recognized by health care providers and the community at large for our responsiveness, sensitivity and expertise in quality end-of-life care.

Hospice of Central Iowa’s range of end-of-life services will broaden and its service area will widen to directly offer service to more rural or semi-urban communities. 
We will directly provide services that we can efficiently create, and partner with others when we cannot.

Hospice of Central Iowa will initiate partnerships with physicians, integrated systems of care and payers to further assist and support individuals and their families in the end-of-life process.
