Horizon Hospice

Horizon Hospice & Palliative Care was a prominent non-profit healthcare organization based in Chicago, Illinois, specializing in end-of-life care and palliative services. Founded in 1978 as the first hospice in Chicago, it provided comprehensive medical, emotional, and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their families. The organization utilized an interdisciplinary team approach, including physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains, to deliver care in patients' homes, residential facilities, and inpatient units. In 2015, Horizon Hospice merged with Midwest Palliative & Hospice CareCenter and JourneyCare to form a single, large-scale provider operating under the JourneyCare brand. The company was recognized for its pioneering role in the hospice movement and its commitment to preserving dignity at the end of life.
