Heaven's Gate Hospices

Ah, the business of death is booming! Salina, Kansas, population around 50,000 including the suburbs, now has two hospices.

Once a person has run out of money to pay for drugs, or once the use of prescription drugs has taken its inevitable toll, the person no longer serves any useful purpose and gets kicked out the earthly door.

Were this latest hospice to be taking a truly "holistic" approach, they would be diligently looking to find holistic ways of healing the person, not just of putting them on the interdimensional plane.

Hospice Care of Kansas recently opened an office in downtown Salina. Thursday they celebrated with a ribbon cutting and open house. Director of Patient Services, Kevin Putman, tells KSAL News they have been serving local patients for a couple of years now from the McPherson office, and recently decided to open a Salina office.

Putman says they want to offer the best care for people facing a terminal illness and their families. He says, "we have a holistic approach to end of life. We want to give quality care, and obviously for someone who has a terminal diagnosis that has a lot to do with the clinical piece, but we also know that if someone is emotionally not handling this well, or even spiritually, we want to address that too."

They currently have sixteen staff members including nurse case managers, home health aides, a social worker and a chaplain. The new office has been open about three months and they are already serving around thirty patients.
