PruittHealth Hospice and Palliative Care provides end-of-life and serious illness care services in Union City, Georgia, serving fifteen counties in the region. The organization has operated for more than fifty years with a commitment to compassionate, family-centered care focused on quality of life.
Hospice care at PruittHealth is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, tailored to each patient's individual needs. The approach emphasizes comfort, pain management, and allowing patients to spend their final days surrounded by loved ones. Care does not hasten or postpone death but rather focuses on the person rather than the disease, with patients and families involved in all decision-making.
The organization also provides palliative care, a twenty-four hour care management service for patients with acute or chronic illnesses. Palliative care concentrates on symptom management and stress relief, with the goal of reducing suffering, providing ongoing treatment, and promoting the highest quality of life possible for those facing serious illness.
PruittHealth emphasizes family involvement throughout care, providing transparency and information so loved ones can stay connected with the patient's progress. The care team works to ensure patients and families receive comfort, support, personal and spiritual peace. All patients are admitted and treated without regard to race, color, creed, age, handicap, national origin, or payment classification, and the organization strives to meet any special cultural or psychosocial requirements.
