A De Pere-based hospice organization has received a major donation.
The Door County Community Foundation, on behalf of Bargains Unlimited Charitable Fund and Growing Older Fund, has given a $10,000 grant to Unity Hospice.
The grant will specifically go towards costs related to Unity’s palliative program, Supportive Care Management.
Health care provider shortages persist, with only one primary care provider for every 1,450 residents and one mental health provider for every 780 people, both well below statewide averages.
SCM addresses these challenges by providing a multidisciplinary palliative care team, including a nurse practitioner, registered nurse, social worker, and chaplain, all of whom make house visits.
Unity’s SCM team works alongside a patient’s existing healthcare providers to deliver coordinated, home-based care tailored to each patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
SCM offers patients and families trusted guidance, personalized support, and 24/7 nurse access, helping reduce stress and prevent avoidable hospitalizations.
