Hospice of Oklahoma County, Inc.’s mission is to enhance the quality and
dignity of life for terminally ill persons and their families.
Hospice is a medically directed, team-oriented program. We will provide
medical care and comfort to terminally ill patients and their families at
home or in a home-like setting. We establish pain management and symptom
control as clinical goals, and understand that psychological and spiritual
pain are as significant as physical pain.
Founded in 1990 by the physicians of the Oklahoma County Medical Society, Hospice of Oklahoma County is certified by Medicare, The Joint Commission and licensed in Oklahoma. Hospice of Oklahoma County is also a member of the Oklahoma Hospice and Palliative Care Association (OHPCA), as well as the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).
Hospice of Oklahoma County purchased Odyssey Healthcare of Oklahoma in 2009, which included the inpatient unit. The INTEGRIS Hospice House is certified by Medicare and accredited by Community Health Accreditation Program.
Caring for our patient's and families is our primary goal and nationally Hospice of Oklahoma County ranks in the top 50 percent.
The hospice philosophy of care is one that accepts death as a natural part
of life. We do not hasten or prolong the dying process, but instead strive
to help patients truly “live until they die” – without
the fear of dying in pain, dying alone or dying without dignity.
