Who We Are
Horizon Hospice and Palliative Care
was established in 1978 by volunteer Ada F. Addington, together with a clergyman, a
physician and an attorney. Horizon is
now a full-service, not-for-profit agency certified by
Medicare and Medicaid and accredited by the Joint Commission. Horizon has 100 staff members and 100 volunteers, a
strong board of
directors and a group of expert advisors.
A founding member of the Illinois State Hospice Organization, Horizon
Hospice and Palliative Care is affiliated with 10 area hospitals and numerous nursing homes.
Hospice care is
delivered primarily in the home by Horizon’s interdisciplinary team, under the
supervision of our medical director, who is board-certified in Internal Medicine and in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
The team includes registered nurses, social workers, home
health aides, physicians, chaplains, bereavement counselors and volunteers.
