Mercy Health Home Care and Hospice by Compassus to Provide Care in Greater Cleveland

CLEVELAND, Ohio โ€“ The Mercy Health Home Care and Hospice programs serving Greater Cleveland announced a new name today: Mercy Health Home Care by Compassus and Mercy Health New Life Hospice by Compassus. The name changes reflects a joint venture partnership between Bon Secours Mercy Health, the fifth-largest Catholic health system in the U.S., and Compassus, a leading national provider of integrated home-based health care services, finalized earlier this year.ย ย 

Locations in Lorain, Ohio, formerly managed by Mercy Health will be rebranded and managed by Compassus. Compassusโ€™ Seven Hills hospice program will also be rebranded Mercy Health Hospice by Compassus and become part of the joint venture.ย ย 

While the name is changing, patients and families will continue to receive the same high-quality, compassionate care from the team members they know and trust. The partnership with Compassus allows for an added level of support for patientsโ€™ ongoing journeys across the care continuum and beyond the health system walls.ย 

โ€œWeโ€™re proud to collaborate with Compassus to continue delivery of high-quality, person-centered home health and hospice care to patients and families in our community,โ€ said Melanie Boyts, executive director at Mercy Health Home Care by Compassus. โ€œWith Compassusโ€™ expertise and our reputation for excellence in Greater Clevelandโ€™s communities, we look forward to furthering our commitment to providing compassionate care at the right time.โ€ย ย 

Ohioโ€™s senior population is the fastest-growing age group in the state.
