St. Croix Hospice Expands Its Reach

St. Croix Hospice, a leader in providing compassionate end-of-life care, has made significant strides in enhancing its service availability by inaugurating four new branches across the Midwest. This expansion comes in the third quarter of 2025 and serves to meet the growing demand for local hospice services in the region.

The new branches are strategically located in:

• - Faribault, Minnesota
• - New Albany, Indiana
• - Storm Lake, Iowa
• - Taylor, Michigan

This initiative is part of St. Croix Hospice's ongoing commitment to making quality hospice care accessible to more communities. Dr. Andrew Mayo, Chief Medical Officer of St. Croix Hospice, expressed enthusiasm regarding the expansion. He stated, "Our organization is excited about how the expansion of our footprint will bring more end-of-life care and education to communities in need." The approach ensures that both patients and their families receive the necessary support during challenging times.

In addition to the new locations, St. Croix Hospice has also distinguished itself in service quality, receiving four rings in the 2025 Quality Connections program from the National Alliance for Care at Home. Notably, this marks the fifth consecutive year that the organization has earned this honor, highlighting its sustained excellence in providing hospice care.

Quality Connections evaluates care organizations based on four fundamental pillars: Education, Application, Measurement, and Innovation. Organizations participating in the program engage in extensive activities such as quarterly data reporting, educational courses, and case studies to foster quality service delivery. Attaining up to four rings signifies outstanding performance across these activities.

St. Croix Hospice is not only characterized by its expansion but also by its dedication to creating efficient and effective support for its care teams. By entering new markets, the organization aims to streamline patient services and ensure that families receive the best possible care at home, or wherever they may be.

This extensive network ensures that expert care teams are always available to meet patients' needs, demonstrating their commitment to quality and accessibility.

The organization prides itself on its 24/7 availability, prompt response times, and same-day admissions, including during evenings, weekends, or holidays. This flexibility allows families to ensure their loved ones receive prompt and compassionate care when needed.
