Blue Island families enroll in hospice then immediately call 911 for every concerning symptom rather than contacting their assigned nurses first. They rush patients to emergency rooms for changes hospice could manage at home, dial ambulances when simple phone calls would suffice, and bypass professional support they enrolled specifically to access. These unnecessary hospitalizations traumatize patients while wasting the comprehensive home-based care hospice provides. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care teaches Cook County residents to use hospice support before defaulting to emergency services. Since 2012, we've helped thousands of panicked households learn that calling hospice first prevents most situations families think require ambulances.
