Ministry Home Care – Hospice provides end-of-life care to anyone who is medically eligible, regardless of their ability to pay. While Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance programs provide some funding for hospice care, many served by Ministry are under-insured or have no insurance or ability to pay. As part of their mission, Ministry will not turn anyone away due to financial difficulties. Events like this make this possible.
