Hospice Co. Partners With Retirement Community
Published on Thu Aug 30, 2012
Phoenix-based Banner Health has entered into a partnership agreement with Sun Health's Grandview Care Center to open a dedicated Inpatient Hospice Unit (IPU) at the care center, which serves residents of Sun City West, an Arizona retirement community. The Banner Hospice at Grandview Ter-race is scheduled to open in the fall, Banner says in a release. Banner Hospice will lease space for the 12-room unit. Grandview currently provides general hospice care. "Partnering with Banner Health to offer a dedicated inpatient hospice unit enhances the hospice services we can offer our community," Grandview administrator Dawn Miller says.
