How Helios Care Is Investing in Our Community

For more than 40 years, Helios Care has been committed to making life easier for individuals and families facing serious illness by providing choices, dignity and compassionate care. While many people know Helios Care for hospice services, our work extends far beyond the bedside. Today, we are investing in both clinical excellence and community outreach to ensure that more people have access to the support, education, and care they deserve.

One of the greatest challenges facing healthcare today is that many individuals and families learn about hospice care only during the final days of life. When that happens, patients often miss opportunities for symptom management, emotional support, caregiver education and advance care planning that could have improved quality of life much earlier.

To address this challenge, Helios Care has expanded its efforts to build stronger relationships with healthcare providers, nursing homes, hospitals, and community organizations throughout Otsego, Delaware, and Schoharie counties. Through physician outreach, educational programs, and community partnerships, we are working to move conversations about serious illness and end-of-life care upstream, before a crisis occurs.
