Who We Are

PruittHealth Hospice is our family-focused approach to end-of-life care that helps patients live their final days well cared for, pain-free, and surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice care does not hasten or postpone death, caring for the person rather than the disease, with a focus on quality rather than length of life. It is always family-centered, involving the patient and family in the decision-making process. PruittHealth delivers hospice care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the setting tailored to each patient's individual needs. Hospice is not a place; it is a specialized service approach to end-of-life care.

We also offer palliative care, which is a 24/7 care management service to help patients with acute or chronic illnesses get back to a higher level of comfort. Palliative care focuses on symptom management and stress relief. The goal is to reduce a patient's suffering, provide ongoing treatment, and promote the best quality of life for those with serious illnesses.

Through our hospice and palliative care services, both patients and families will find comfort, support, personal and spiritual peace, and an appreciation for the fullness of life.

What We Do

PruittHealth Hospice and Palliative Care volunteers are the heart of our team.  Volunteering is a gift, and the best way to find yourself is in the service of others.  Our volunteers work closely with the hospice team to provide a high-quality, personalized experience for our patients and their families.

Office hours located in Calhoun, GA.  Patient hours available in Catoosa, Walker, Whitfield, Gordon, Bartow, and Cherokee Counties.

PruittHealth Hospice provides comprehensive training, including Spiritual support, Emotional support, Medical support, and Bereavement support.  We ensure all of our volunteers understand hospice and are equipped to provide the best support possible for patients and their families.
