Bethany Hospice is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based provider of hospice services within the hospital and health care sector, serving Southwestern Pennsylvania. It was founded by nurse Diane Mead, an RN with a BSN, to deliver high-quality comfort care for people facing life-limiting illnesses who are no longer pursuing aggressive or experimental treatments. Hospice services are delivered as a tailored offering rather than a site, with care plans developed in collaboration with patients and families and carried out wherever the patient resides, including home, assisted living, nursing facilities, or hospitals. The organization provides a range of supports, including nursing and personal care, medications related to the hospice diagnosis, medical equipment and supplies, counseling and bereavement support, spiritual care, and referrals to community resources. The Bethany Hospice team is described as diverse and committed to a set of excellence standards such as respect, honesty, integrity, communication, understanding, cooperation, professionalism, competence, accountability, and unconditional positive regard. The size is characterized as modest, reflecting a regional operation focused on improving quality of life and dignity for patients and their families in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region.
