Big Spring, Howard County Hospice Care

---

For more than 43 years, Hospice of Midland has been a beacon of compassion and care in the Permian Basin, providing unparalleled hospice services to patients and their families during life’s most challenging moments. Today, we are thrilled to announce that we are now expanding our services to Howard County, Texas, including the cities of Big Spring, Coahoma, Forsan, and Vealmoor. This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to ensuring that more individuals have access to the exceptional care they need and deserve.

Hospice care is an essential service that supports patients with terminal illnesses and their families. It focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, offering a holistic approach to care that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. By extending our services to Howard County, including Big Spring, Coahoma, Forsan, and Vealmoor, Hospice of Midland aims to bridge the gap for those who previously lacked access to comprehensive hospice care in their local area.

Residents of Howard County can now benefit from the expertise of the Permian Basin’s first and only nonprofit hospice organization. Our services include everything from pain management and symptom control to emotional and spiritual support for both patients and their loved ones. Whether at home, in a hospital, or in a care facility, our team is here to provide care from the heart.

In addition to Howard County, Hospice of Midland proudly serves the following counties across the Permian Basin:

• Midland County
• Ector County
• Martin County
• Andrews County
• Glasscock County
• Ward County
• Winkler County
• Upton County

By expanding into Howard County, we are reaffirming our mission to bring compassionate care to as many people as possible across West Texas.

As the region’s first and only nonprofit hospice, Hospice of Midland operates with a clear mission: to provide care from the heart to fulfill the unique needs of patients and families. This means that our care is not profit-driven but instead focused on delivering the highest level of support, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. 

Here are some key aspects of our services that set us apart:

1. Comprehensive Care: Our team includes skilled professionals such as physicians, nurses, social workers, hospice aides, chaplains, and volunteers. We also offer specialized programs like "We Honor Veterans" and "Pet Peace of Mind," which address unique needs within our community.
2. Grief and Bereavement Support: We understand that the journey doesn’t end after the loss of a loved one. That’s why we provide bereavement services to help families navigate their grief, including support groups, workshops, and personalized counseling.
3. Palliative Care Options: For patients who may not yet qualify for hospice but require specialized care, our Pathways Palliative Care program offers guidance, symptom management, and emotional support.
4. Community Commitment: As a nonprofit, we’re deeply rooted in the community, and we actively participate in local events and initiatives to increase awareness and support for hospice care.

The decision to enter hospice care is never easy, but it can be transformative for patients and families alike. Our services aim to:

• Relieve pain and manage symptoms to ensure comfort.
• Provide emotional and spiritual support tailored to each family’s needs and beliefs.
• Guide families through the complexities of end-of-life care.
• Offer practical assistance, including help with Advance Directives, Living Wills, and Medical Power of Attorney.

Our team’s approach is patient-centered, meaning that every plan of care is customized to meet the individual needs and wishes of the patient and their loved ones.
