When we enter this world we are surrounded by love, comfort and care. When we leave, don’t we deserve the same?

Please consider helping us achieve our dream of building a hospice house at Olathe Medical Park. We are close to realizing our fundraising goal. Donate now to help push the campaign over its $3.5 million goal.

What is a Hospice House

Olathe Health System has provided hospice services for more than 30 years. We believe the end of life can be a meaningful time for patients and their loved ones. When staying at home at the end of one’s life is not an option, there is a peaceful care alternative—inpatient hospice care. The home-like environment provides medical and nursing care, plus emotional and spiritual support, not only for the patient, but also family and friends. This “home” would be dedicated and uniquely equipped to provide modern medicine and compassionate care to terminally ill patients, enabling them and their families to live fully and comfortably while coping with end-of-life issues.

An unmet need is evidenced in our communities due to a lack of inpatient hospice facilities. We believe the communities we serve deserve to receive their healthcare at end-of-life from a system they know and trust. We currently have a well-established, strong, holistic, interdisciplinary and compassionate hospice team ready to support the patient and nurture the family through an inpatient hospice facility. We ask for your support in making this dream, an Olathe Health System hospice house, a reality.

Hospice House Amenities

• A private and serene environment, inside and out, located at Olathe Medical Park, on the campus of Olathe Medical Center.
• Expected eight individual patient/family suites with the ability to expand.
• Communal sitting areas, kitchen facilities, flower gardens and other amenities to ensure a comfortable setting.
• Around-the-clock nursing care.
• Respite care.

Fundraising Need

A hospice house at Olathe Medical Park will be built and managed as a service to the community. These programs rely heavily on contributions from the community for the initial construction and ongoing sustainability of services. Opportunities to support the endeavor can be designated to: construction, equipment, furnishings, operations and/or endowment. Our goal is to raise:

• Initial Construction Costs: $2 million
• Equipment/Furnishings: $500,000
• Funding of Future Operations: $1 million
