OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — Lake Regional Hospice has again earned national recognition for achieving superior patient satisfaction scores. WellSky, a consulting company that researches national best practices for home care agencies, has awarded Lake Regional Hospice an Award of Distinction for achieving patient satisfaction scores higher than 75% of all hospice programs in WellSky’s national database.

“The best part about this award is that it is based on patient feedback,” said Courtney Hulett, P.T., director of Post-Acute Care. “Our hospice team guides patients and their families through a difficult but also meaningful time, and to have patients place us in the Top 25% of hospice programs nationwide is a true honor for the compassionate people we have on our team.”
