Today's speaker was Courtney Mathews, educator for home health at Zions Way Home Health and Hospice. He explained the difference between home health and hospice and the services provided for both. Hospice care treats the symptoms only, alleviating pain and symptoms without eliminating the cause. Home Health is used at a time when an individual has experienced a critical episode requiring skilled needs such as IV care, diabetic education, physical therapy, etc.
