(KNZA)--Holton Community Hospital's Home Health and Hospice services are now under the management of Faith Home Health and Hospice.

That change, or new chapter, as the hospital puts it in a release, began November 17.

Holton Community Hospital CEO, Carrie Lutz, in the release, says they are "actively working towards finalizing a Purchase Agreement that ensures [the hospital's] dedicated local staff will continue to provide compassionate care" to the community," adding that Faith Home Health and Hospice shares [the hospital's] commitment to exceptional service and is enthusiastic about partnering with [the hospital] to meet the needs" of the patients and families.

The decision to make the change comes after what the release calls "the hospital- difficult announcement in September of the closure of its award-winning Home Health and Hospice department, effective December 31, 2024," with the release explaining "that closure was necessitated by significant financial challenges brought on by changes in healthcare payment models, the expansion of Medicare replacement plans, and increasing competition from other agencies.

According to the release, Faith Home Health and Hospice, based in Kansas City, brings decades of expertise in quality care, with their values aligning "closely with the hospital-, offering a smooth transition for patients, families, and staff."
