Vitas Innovative Hospice Care Opens at Silver Cross Campus
An open house is planned by Vitas Innovative Hospice Care, which opened an office at Silver Cross Hospital Campus.
Vitas Innovative Hospice Care, an end-of-life care provider, has opened an office in New Lenox.
A provider for adults and pediatric patients with life-limiting illness, Vitas Innovative Hospice Care is planning an open house from 4:30-7 p.m. Sept. 26 at its newest location, Silver Cross Hospital Campus, 1890 Silver Cross Boulevard.
The meet and greet is planned for the Silver Cross Hospital Pavilion A in the Conference Room on the lower level. Attendees are asked to call 815-729-9352 to RSVP by Sept. 25.
Spokesperson Michelle Bacon said VITAS Innovative Hospice Care provides end-of-life care for adult and pediatric patients with life-limiting illnesses. "We work with patients and families to provide comfort and preserve dignity in the face of terminal illness," according to the website.
About 90 percent of all hospice care takes place in the home, she said. Vitas assists families with that undertaking.
While business hours in New Lenox are from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday, Vitas is available 24 hours a day. Clients need only call 815-729-9352 for immediate assistance.
