The award is based on data from the Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey, which measures the quality of care and the overall experience of families during the hospice process. By achieving the Elite designation, the Evansville team demonstrated performance levels that surpass the vast majority of competing agencies nationwide.

Kelly Poellein, regional vice president of operations, noted that the achievement validates the trust families place in the staff during sensitive life transitions. Founded in 2003, the organization operates across four states, with the Evansville office located at 610 E. Walnut St. providing localized support for patients facing life-limiting illnesses.
