Education Experts
Iowa River Hospice staff are passionate about helping consumers understand that hospice is for the living. The benefit of election for hospice care is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances. Our experts can help navigate hospice coverage and a variety of other topics.
Our education experts are dedicated to educating our service area communities on hospice, preventative care, and end-of-life topics — before there’s a need. Our experts will come to you — whether that is a nursing facility, community event, the Iowa Veterans Home, or your very own home.
Community presentations serve as the foundation of our outreach efforts. Through these presentations, we educate our neighbors about hospice care options, empowering them to make informed healthcare decisions.
Our presentations can be customized for nursing facilities, nonprofits, civic groups and other organizations.
Examples of topics we explore include:
- Myths and misconceptions about hospice care
- History and governing laws of hospice care
- Living wills and healthcare power of attorney documentation
- Physical changes to expect as we age
- Preventative maintenance
- Grief services
