Stillwater Hospice

History

Visiting Nurse began providing care in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1888 and has continued to serve the community's seriously ill residents ever since. We are the leading provider of hospice and palliative care services in northeast Indiana, with the region's only free-standing in-patient Hospice Home. And we care for those who go on living through The Peggy F. Murphy Community Grief Center's bereavement services.

Specialties

Visiting Nurse provides end-of-life and palliative care to patients in an eight-county region of northeast Indiana, along with grief support for those who go on living. Our 145-strong staff made more than 41,200 visits to patients and families in 2015, and our 166 volunteers put in more than 11,000 hours of service to our patients and their families. In 2015, our clinical staff traveled in excess of 400,000 miles to see our patients in their homes, nursing facilities and hospitals. Visiting Nurse is a funded member agency of the United Way, and we provide care regardless of the ability to pay.
