- $15.5 million spent. Hartford HealthCare Independence is a not-for-profit community-based home health and hospice organization serving Connecticut residents in several locations including Hartford, Fairfiled, Litchfield, Middlesex, New London, New Haven, Tolland and Windham counties. Founded in 1901, Hartford HealthCare at Home is part of an integrated health care system known as Hartford HealthCare. Hartford HealthCare at Home fulfills its mission by enabling individuals to achieve maximum independence, to participate in their own plan of care, and to live with dignity while receiving quality care in their own homes.The Hospice and Palliative Care Programs (H.O.P.E.) work with patients and families in this most difficult of times offering a holistic approach to care of the entire family unit. In addition to supplementing services with patients' comfort items not often covered by insurance, nurses, counselors, social workers, physicians, pastoral care, bereavement workers and volunteers devise an integrated approach toward providing basic care to those without insurance. There are many more ways that Hartford HealthCare at Home, Inc., services benefit our community. Health education presentations at community sites, regular health screenings at senior centers, free flu shot clinics to the homeless and those lacking insurance and fall risk prevention programs are a few of the ways the agency provides assistance. Through the use of charitable funds, the needs of patients and their caregivers are being met. They receive medical care that they might not otherwise seek, for fear of not being able to pay. The care they receive improves or stabilizes their health, allowing them to remain independent and return to normal activities as soon as possible. Patients are able to retain their independence and often family members are able to continue working with the peace of mind that their loved one's needs are being met.
