SSM Health at Home is excited to announce its new membership to the Wisconsin Hospice & Palliative Care Collaborative (WHPCC), comprised of Wisconsin’s leading nonprofit hospice and palliative care organizations.

WHPCC is a strategic partnership focused on enabling its members to enhance access to quality care for
chronically and seriously ill patients and reduce the overall cost of care in an era marked by rapidly changing reimbursement factors.

Denise Gloede, president of SSM Health Continuum of Care, said WHPCC’s mission aligns with SSM Health’s core values of compassion, respect and community, and the vision to provide peace, hope and health for every person.

“The SSM Health at Home team is dedicated to helping people live life to the fullest wherever they call home,” Gloede said. “Our care teams focus on improving quality of life, providing not only physical care but also emotional and spiritual support. We look forward to partnering closely with other mission- driven organizations in Wisconsin to provide exceptional patient care through shared knowledge and best practices.”

SSM Health at Home offers home health, hospice and home medical equipment services across south central Wisconsin.
