Our Belief & Philosophy
At Ardent Hospice & Palliative Care, we believe that every patient is more than his or her disease; rather the disease is just one part of what affects his or her life and environment. We evaluate and care for each patient holistically—taking into account his or her entire life, the psychosocial aspect, emotions, and family. We work diligently and tirelessly to ensure our patients are able to carry on in the setting that is most comfortable for them.
Ardent is committed to supporting patients regardless of economic or financial status. Ardent Hospice & Palliative Care is accredited by The Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) and is licensed and certified by Medicaid.
Our Mission
Our patients and their loved ones are the center of our work. When curative treatments have become ineffective, Ardent Hospice delivers peace of mind with a mission to relieve pain and suffering. Our team of professionals has a passion for providing superior, thoughtful care at the end of life, and works around the clock to improve the quality of life for our patients, their loved ones, and caregivers by creating an atmosphere of acceptance and respect for all.
We go beyond simply administering pain medication and treatment to keep patients comfortable; we focus on each individual as a complete being, providing care to his or her family as well. Our mission is to connect and collaborate with every patient and family and support them in every decision.
A Message from Our Founder
Dear Friends,
Ardent Hospice & Palliative Care understands that illness often comes during already difficult times, and our entire team is committed to meeting the needs of our patients and their loved ones. Our mission to enhance the quality of life for our patients, their caregivers and loved ones pervades every aspect of what we do.
As an RN, I work closely with the Ardent team to help provide the very best care for our patients. Together, we set the standard for delivering compassionate care while working to relieve the pain and suffering when curative treatment is no longer an option for our patients. It’s our priority to treat patients entirely—mind, body, and spirit—and make sure they are comfortable in every way during their final days.
If you or a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness, we can walk that end-of-life journey with you. At Ardent Hospice & Palliative Care, it’s our promise to support you through this difficult time by providing care with dignity, kindness and heart.
Sincerely yours,
Susan Compton, RN
Ardent Hospice & Palliative Care
Owner, CEO
