Hospice Provides Care

A group of citizens who wanted help available for the terminally ill and their families founded Hospice of North Central Oklahoma in 1982. The hospice staff is Medicare-certified, state licensed and cares for over 150 patients annually. No patient or family is ever charged for hospice care by Hospice of North Central Oklahoma.

Greg Wood, LBSW, (Licensed baccalaureate Social Worker) is the new executive director. He is also a licensed minister with the Assembly of God.

Hospice of North Central Oklahoma has restructured their staff to include:

• Claudia Bames, RN, BSN, CHPN, is the director of education and development;

• Marta Sullivan, RN, is the director of patient services;

• Mike Sweetman, M. Div., is the director of chaplain services;

• Tamie Bames is the director of operations and finances as well as the volunteer coordinator.

Hospice continues to depend on four fund raisers each year. They include the annual Appeal Letter, the annual Memorial Golf Tournament, the Chili/Bar-B-Q Cook-off in September, and the Tree of Life, where community members may purchase a tree decoration in honor or memory of a loved one.

Hospice of North Central Oklahoma also offers grief support to hospice families and to anyone in the community who has experienced death of a loved one.
