For Health Care Professionals

Agrace is here to help you learn about supportive or end-of-life care with a variety of resources. As you browse this page, please know that our staff is here to assist you as you talk to people in your care and their families about our services, including end-of-life matters.

Agrace is an open access hospice: Agrace patients may receive concurrent services such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, blood transfusions or dialysis while they’re on hospice if the patient’s goal in receiving treatment is to relieve pain or other symptoms of their terminal illness, rather than to try to cure the illness. Agrace considers these requests individually, so please ask us about your specific case.

Advanced cardiac care program: In collaboration with the American Heart Association and the National Partnership for Hospice Innovation, Agrace clinicians are receiving specialized training to manage the symptoms of advanced heart disease and keep patients comfortable. With Agrace Hospice Care, heart disease patients can continue treatments that control their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Making a referral: If you think a person in your care could benefit from Agrace’s Hospice or Supportive Care services, call Agrace’s Enrollment Team at (800) 930-2770 at any time to ask questions or make a referral. We also have a simple online referral form:

We will do our best to visit with your patient (or family/guardian, if appropriate) in the next day or two following the referral. Agrace staff will meet with them to learn what’s happening with them and recommend services that best meet their needs, whether that is Hospice Care or Supportive Care, a palliative care program.
