Work is underway on building our $3.25 million technologically advanced Care Solutions Center, which will dramatically expand access to hospice and palliative care. The new center is funded through a $2 million gift from the James and Angela Hambrick Foundation along with matching grants from the Elisabeth Severance Prentiss Foundation and The Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation. The 4,000-square-foot facility will be located at HWR’s headquarters and is expected to be fully operational by the first quarter of 2022.

James Hambrick, a long-time supporter and previous board member, said: “Angela and I have seen firsthand the life-changing impact of Hospice of the Western Reserve’s care. We are honored our gift will play a key role in helping families more easily access the quality care everyone deserves through the advanced capabilities of this innovative Care Solutions Center.”

New technology will allow HWR to expand access to all our services, including hospice care, our Western Reserve Navigator palliative care program, pediatric hospice and community bereavement support. 

The new center will eliminate administrative tasks and improve response time. Increased connectivity will mean HWR providers can coordinate, dispatch clinicians and problem-solve faster than ever. Physicians and community referral sources will be able to offer their patients faster enrollments. 

“Families will benefit from immediate access to knowledgeable hospice experts and timely visits during one of the most stressful times in their lives. It will truly become the heartbeat of the agency,” said Bill Finn, President and CEO.
