BOARD OF DIRECTORS

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

Cathy�Swanson,�MPHChief�Executive�Officer

Late�last�year,�Caldwell�Hospice�and

Palliative�Care�(CHPC)�marked�a

milestone�in�our�service�to�the�commu-

nity.�We�served�our�10,000th�patient.

That�figure�represents�a�tremendous

number�of�individuals�and�family

members�who�have�been�touched�by

the�work�and�service�of�Caldwell

County’s�most�experienced�and�only

local,�not-for-profit�hospice.�It�also

serves�as�testament�to�an�incredible

level�of�support�from�a�community�

that�has�been�with�us�since�the�very

beginning�nearly�35�years�ago.

CHPC�began�as�a�local,�not-for-profit,

community-based�hospice�provider

and�has�remained�so�through�the

decades.�Despite�changes�in�the

healthcare�market�that�have�resulted

in�more�for-profit�hospices�and�a�move

away�from�community-driven�work,

CHPC�is�committed�to�staying�true�to

its�original�mission�of�serving�anyone

who�needs�and�desires�our�care.

Caldwell�Hospice�could�not�exist

without�you—the�people�who�have�

so�generously�supported�us�with

monetary�contributions�and�volunteer

hours�as�well�as�a�wealth�of�good�will

and�kindness�through�the�years.

In�2015-16,�your�contributions�

helped�CHPC�provide�$730,339�in�

care�to�those�in�our�community�who

needed�end-of-life�care�and�services

but�had�no�way�to�pay�for�them.

During�that�same�year,�volunteers

gave�almost�12,500�hours�of�service�

to�our�hospice.�We�are�humbled�and�

honored�by�your�giving.

It is important for you to know we are

being�good�stewards�of�the�work�and

support�you�have�entrusted�with�us.

We�strive�daily�to�provide�the�best

possible�care�to�our�patients�and�the

people�who�love�them,�addressing�the

physical,�emotional�and�spiritual�needs

unique�to�end-of-life�care.�We�seek�to

give�back�to�the�community�through

the�offering�of�bereavement�services�to

anyone�in�the�community�who�needs

them,�not�just�hospice�patients�and

their�families,�as�well�as�educational

opportunities�to�the�community.�And,

we�are�working�to�keep�our�hospice�on

a�strong�footing�in�an�ever-changing

healthcare�marketplace.

The�staff�and�board�remain�diligent�in

their�oversight�to�ensure�that�Caldwell

Hospice�remains�financially�strong�and

steady�as�we�meet�the�challenges�of

this�evolving�era.�Amidst�it�all,�CHPC�is

committed�to�the�community�it�serves,

quality�patient�care,�and�the�not-for-

profit�model�that�allows�it�to�provide

care�to�all�patients,�regardless�of

reimbursement.

While�other�communities�around�the

country�are�losing�their�nonprofit

hospices,�CHPC�remains�solid,�another

testament�to�the�support�and�faith�of

the�community�we�serve—your

community,�our�community.

COVER STORY

Building on a Foundation of Excellence

Service to our fellowman has

always been and remains our

mission. It is the foundation

of who we are.

—Cathy Swanson, CEO

oundations�matter.�They�are�thebedrock,�the�structure�that

supports�all�that�is�to�come,�and�itis�a�foundation�of�ministry�andservice�that�distinguishes�CaldwellHospice�and�Palliative�Care�(CHPC)and�the�work�it�does�every�day.

CHPC�began�nearly�35�years�agowith�an�underpinning�of�servingothers—a�foundation�and�promisethat�remains�steady�and�strong�allthese�years�later�and�still�drives�the�work�of�the�county’s�only�not-for-profit�community�hospice.

While�for-profit�corporations�havegotten�into�the�hospice�business—in�fact,�70%�of�today’s�hospiceproviders�in�the�U.S.�are�for-profit—the�not-for-profit�community�hospicemodel�is�built�not�on�a�financialmotive,�but�care�first,�a�mission�that�is�exemplified�daily�by�the�many�who�work�and�volunteer�forCaldwell�Hospice.�The�idea�was�andis�a�simple�one—neighbors�helpingneighbors�through�the�difficult�daysof�end-of-life,�a�community�caring�for�its�own,�serving�individuals�and�families�in�their�time�of�need,personalized�care�that�treatspatients�as�a�whole�person,addressing�their�physical,�emotionaland�spiritual�needs�and�being�asupport�to�those�who�love�them.

It�seems�like�a�common�idea�now,but�in�the�early�1980s,�it�was�arevolutionary�approach�that�wasfueled�by�a�true�grassrootsmovement�in�Caldwell�County�toestablish�the�county’s�first�hospice.

“Ours�truly is�a�joint�effort—Caldwell Hospice�and�the�community�coming�together�to�care�for�oneanother,”�says�Cathy�Swanson,�chief�executive�officer.�

F Now�serving�about�800�patients�ayear,�Caldwell�Hospice�is�a�leaderamong�not-for-profit�hospices�state-wide.�It�operates�North�Carolina’soldest�patient�care�unit�with�itsKirkwood�facility�in�Lenoir.�While�themajority�of�patients�receive�care�athome,�Caldwell�Hospice�also�has�asecond�patient�care�unit�at�theRobbins�Center�in�Hudson.

CHPC�provides�physician�andnursing�services,�social�workservices,�spiritual�and�bereavementcounseling,�and�dietary�counseling.Medical�supplies,�medications�forsymptom�control�and�pain�relief,home�health�aide�and�homemakerservices,�volunteer�services,�andphysical,�occupational�and�speechtherapies�are�also�offered�as�well�asenhanced�services�including�cardiacand�pulmonary�care�at�home�forpatients�with�heart/lung�disease,�adementia�care�program�and�a�fullcomplement�of�community�bereave-ment�services,�which�are�open�toanyone�who�needs�them,�not�justhospice�patients�and�families.

In�addition,�Caldwell�Hospice�offers�apalliative�care�program�called�AIM:Advanced�Illness�Management—forthose�who�need�assistance�managinga�chronic,�potentially�life-limitingillness�that�is�not�terminal.

Today,�hospice�care�is�covered�byMedicare,�Medicaid�and�most�privateinsurances.�Still,�there�are�many�whohave�no�way�to�pay�for�their�care,and�that�is�where�the�communityshines�in�Caldwell�Hospice�throughdonations,�volunteer�service�andother�contributions.

Caldwell�Hospice�never�turns�away�apatient�because�he�or�she�cannot�pay,and�that�patient�receives�the�samelevel�of�care�as�anyone�else.

“We�care�for�anyone�who�needs�careand�compassion�as�they�and�theirloved�ones�face�the�end�of�life.�As�anon-profit,�that�is�our�work,”�saysSwanson.�“Service�to�our�fellowmanhas�always�been�and�remains�ourmission.�It�is�the�foundation�of�whowe�are.”

Selecting�a�medical�provider�for�a�loved�one�is�an�important�decision,�and�hospice�is�no�exception.�With�for-profit�competitors,�such�as�PruittHealth,Community�Home�Care�and�Hospice,�and�Medi�Home,�and�non-profit�competitors�serving�residents�in�our�community,�it�is�important�to�learn�about�each�hospice�provider�before�making�a�choice.

By asking meaningful questions, such as the ones below, you can know what eachhospice�provider�offers�and�which�provider�is�right�for�you�or�your�loved�one.

l What�is�the�hospice’s�philosophy�of�care?l What�is�the�hospice’s�mission�statement?l How�long�has�the�hospice�been�in�business?l Is�the�provider�a�for-profit�or�a�non-profit,�community-based�hospice?l Is�the�hospice�accredited?l How�are�calls�and�patient�visits�handled�after�regular�business�hours?l How�quickly�does�the�hospice�respond�to�referrals?l How�experienced�is�the�staff?l Does�the�hospice�have�an�inpatient�unit?l What�volunteer�services�are�offered?l Does�the�hospice�offer�any�specialized�services?l What�services�does�the�hospice�offer�to�families�following�a�death?l What�is�the�satisfaction�rate�from�patients�and�families?l Where�is�care�provided?l Who�pays�for�services?

Until There Is a Cure...

Take the Tour®

Quality care for people dealing

with Alzheimer’s disease and

related dementias begins with

family members and caregivers

who are sensitive, patient, and

kind. But how can people be

empathetic when they have

never experienced firsthand the

physical and mental challenges

facing those with dementia?

Now there is a way.

The�Virtual Dementia Tour®

(VDT)—a�scientifically�proven

method�of�building�a�greater

understanding�of�dementia

through�the�use�of�patented

sensory�tools�and�instruction—

is�Your�Window�into�Their�World.

The VDT was created by P.K. Beville, an

award-winning geriatric specialist and founder

of Second Wind Dreams®.
