Specialized Programs

The many ways we show compassion.

At Hosparus Health, we offer specialized programs to support patients and their families through advanced illness. Each program—whether focused on cardiac and lung care, holistic support, veteran-specific services, or pet therapy—is designed to address unique needs, easing symptoms and providing comfort. Our dedicated team strives to enhance quality of life through compassionate, whole-person care tailored to individual goals.

Explore our specialized programs below.

Hosparus Health Heart Connection®

Heart disease can be overwhelming. We can help you with advanced cardiac disease by customizing a plan of care to fit your needs and goals in consultation with the patient’s cardiologist.

Holistic Care

Caring for a loved one as you share the end of life journey requires care for oneself while caring for one who is dying – it requires care of the whole person. The word “holistic” means care of the whole person, not just focusing on the symptoms of a disease or illness. Here at Hosparus Health, we believe in an integrated approach to healthcare, because we know that the mind, body and spirit are connected. We are currently piloting Holistic Care Kits in our Southeast and Southwest Louisville communities, and plan to expand to other communities in the next 12 months.

Veteran Care

Hosparus Health is honored to serve the veterans of the armed forces. Thanks to some special partnerships, we have the resources and tools to meet the challenges veterans can face at the end of life.

Pet Therapy Program

We are proud to have volunteers offer pet-assisted therapy services. The pet-certified volunteers can visit in homes, nursing centers, or the Hosparus Health Inpatient Care Center. Our therapy pets also love special events like birthday parties, fundraisers, or Kourageous Kids events.

Lung Care Program

Hosparus Health can help manage the symptoms of advanced lung disease while decreasing or eliminating the need to return to the hospital.

A special kind of compassion.
