Ozark Hospice hosted our first annual butterfly release during a memorial and remembrance ceremony. We’re deeply grateful for the presence of our patients’ families and the incredible support from our community. A heartfelt shoutout to Dave Elledge for stepping in as our chaplain, offering a meaningful scripture reading and prayer. Your presence made this event truly special.

What Qualifies a Patient for Hospice Care?

Hospice care provides specialized support focused on comfort rather than curative treatment, but many people aren’t clear about who qualifies or when it’s appropriate to consider this option.
