Second Congregational/First Presbyterian Church
The strongest asset we have for the Mobile Integrated Healthcare Program are the resources that exist in the community. The connections we make through the resources we know are amazing and, most certainly, show up at exactly the right moment. That was exactly how we met Reverend Rebecca White Newgren, Senior Past at Second Congregational/First Presbyterian Church. We were looking for overnight resources for some of our patients - she was looking for resources to be a part of an Overnight Warming Cafe! While there is still work to be done to get the Overnight Cafe open during the winter months Reverend Newgren and her congregation came together to open their facility during the extremely cold stretch and it was a great success! We are looking forward to working with Second First Church on this and other community projects. |
Right from the beginning Heartland Hospice has provided support and education to our MIH Managers. We will always be grateful to Tammy Christensen and her team for being so welcoming. The Heartland team has been patient with us as we learned how important these difficult conversations with patients can be and all about the services that can be provided by a hospice program.
Heartland serves north-central Illinois and southern Wisconsin. To learn more about their program please visit their website at www.heartlandhospice.com/rockford

In addition to hospice care, Heartland also provides a palliative care program called Advanced Disease Management.
This program coordinates care for patients with chronic medical conditions and/or terminal medical conditions. The Nurse Practitioners who are part of this program assist patients in navigating not only their healthcare needs, but also needs related to diet, spirituality, and therapy based on the patients' diagnosis.
