University Medicine has partnered with HopeHealth, a nonprofit organization that provides home care and hospice services in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, to ensure access to consistent 24-hour care for University Medicine patients.
The partnership, announced Tuesday, designates two HopeHealth centers – Visiting Nurse of HopeHealth in Lincoln and Hope Hospice & Palliative Care Rhode Island in Providence – as University Medicine preferred providers. Under the agreement, University Medicine physicians will be able to send their patients to Visiting Nurse and Hope Hospice for home care, palliative and hospice services.
