The Bridge Program
Embracing Transitions & Empowering Patients at Life’s Crossroads
Guiding You Through Life’s Transitions
Facing a serious illness can be overwhelming. Whether you’re managing symptoms, continuing treatment, or exploring care options, making the right decisions for your health and well-being is crucial.
At Our Hospice, we understand that not everyone is ready for hospice care. That’s why we offer The Bridge Program—a compassionate, patient-centered support program designed to help individuals and families navigate this challenging time.
What Is The Bridge Program?
The Bridge Program is a specialized support service that connects patients with the resources, education, and care they need while they continue treatment for a serious illness. It serves as a transition point between active medical treatment and hospice care, ensuring that individuals receive the guidance they need at every step of their journey. The Bridge Program doesn’t provide any medical care or pain symptom management. The purpose of the program is to provide support for the client & their family through various forms of contact and to help with decision making.
This program is ideal for individuals who:
✔️ Have a serious or life-limiting illness but are still receiving treatment.
✔️ Need support managing symptoms such as pain, fatigue, or shortness of breath.
✔️ Are not yet ready to transition to hospice care but want additional emotional and practical support.
✔️ Have had frequent hospital visits or ER stays due to worsening symptoms.
✔️ Need help understanding when hospice might be the right choice.
Unlike traditional hospice care, The Bridge Program allows patients to continue medical treatment while receiving the holistic support they and their families need.
How The Bridge Program Works
Every patient’s situation is unique. That’s why The Bridge Program is customized to meet individual needs. Here’s how it works:
1. Initial Consultation
A hospice specialist will meet with you and your family to discuss your current condition, medical treatment plan, and long-term care goals.
2. Ongoing Monitoring & Check-Ins
Our team provides regular check-ins to monitor your condition.
Patients and families receive guidance on care options, including when hospice might be appropriate.
3. Seamless Transition (If Needed)
If your condition changes and hospice becomes the best option, our team ensures a smooth and stress-free transition—without disruptions in care or support.
