Each of these sites aims to serve their communities better. As the Chief Medical Officer, Andrew Mayo, M.D., expressed, “It's an honor to see our commitment to high-quality end-of-life care options realized as we close the year with these five new locations.”
Growth Driven by Commitment to Excellence
St. Croix Hospice achieved these new openings due to a strategy combining de novo establishments and acquisitions, focusing on clinical program enhancements. This approach has allowed them to extend their reach, currently caring for over 7,000 patients a day across ten Midwestern states. Their recent recognition as a qualified provider for hospice patients with heart failure, accredited by a company-wide Palliative/Hospice Heart Failure certification, highlights their dedication to meeting diverse patient needs and improving health outcomes.

The organization has also received accolades for exceptional care quality. They've earned four rings in the Quality Connections program from the National Alliance for Care at Home for five consecutive years. This consistent recognition affirms the trust placed in their services by patients and families alike.
Heath Bartness, the CEO and Founder, shared his sentiments regarding their achievements, emphasizing the hard work of their dedicated team. “We take pride in our patient-focused growth and the recognition from AHA and The Alliance for care quality.
