🏆 Benton County Hospice Receives National Recognition! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to announce that Benton County Health Department Hospice has been named a 2026 HOSPICE HONORS ELITE Award recipient by MatrixCare!

This prestigious national recognition is awarded to hospice agencies that achieve a 100% score across all 22 evaluated performance measures.

Of hospice agencies across the nation, only 72 in the United States earned the 2026 Hospice Honors Elite distinction, and Benton County Hospice was one of only FOUR agencies in Missouri to receive this honor!

This recognition reflects what our community experiences every day: the exceptional care, compassion, and dedication of our Hospice team.

To our incredible Hospice staff: we are so proud of you. Thank you for the compassion you show, the comfort you provide, and the difference you make in the lives of our patients and their families each and every day.

Nationally recognized. Locally dedicated. Proudly serving Benton County. 💙

Talking about hospice isn't easy, but it can be one of the most meaningful conversations you'll ever have.
Many families wait until a crisis to discuss end-of-life wishes. Starting the conversation early gives your loved one the opportunity to share what matters most to them and allows everyone to make informed decisions together.
Hospice isn't about giving up hope. It's about focusing on comfort, dignity, quality of life, and support for both patients and their families.
If you have questions about whether hospice may be the right choice for someone you love, our team is here to help.

Comfort. Compassion. Dignity.
Caring for every moment that matters.
