HAMPTON ROADS, Va. – The Bon Secours Home Care and Hospice programs serving the Hampton Roads region announced a new name today: Bon Secours Home Care and Hospice by Compassus. The new name change 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.
Locations in Newport News, Suffolk and Virginia Beach will be managed by Compassus as part of the partnership and rebranded Bon Secours Home Care and Hospice by Compassus. Bon Secours home care and hospice programs providing care in the greater Richmond area will also be rebranded and managed as part of the joint venture.
While the names are 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 Bon Secours patients’ ongoing journeys across the care continuum and beyond the health system walls.
“Bon Secours has a proud legacy of providing high-quality home health and hospice care to patients in the Hampton Roads region. Our partnership with Compassus allows for expanded support in delivering home health and hospice care at the right time in alignment with patient goals and well-being,” said Marianne Walston, hospice area executive of clinical operations at Bon Secours Home Care and Hospice by Compassus. “While our name is changing, our high standards for quality care are not and we look forward to continuing to serve patients and families in the community.”
By 2030, nearly a quarter of Virginia’s residents will be over 60, according to the Virginia Department on Aging. With most adults desiring to age in place, the need for home-based care services is projected to grow nationwide. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reports more than 38,000 patients elected hospice in the state last year.
