Major Activities

Activity 2

Palliative care - in 2002, unity noticed a gap in care for individuals who were facing a serious illness and did not qualify for hospice. Many of these individuals may have been receiving curative treatments or may have had a limiting but indeterminate prognosis. While these individuals faced the burden of balancing multiple appointments, treatments, medications, decisions, and other health matters, they did not have one consistent plan of care managed by any one provider. This is when unity established its palliative care program to address not only the physical symptoms of a serious illness or condition but the emotional, social, and spiritual concerns as well. The cost of subsidized care for direct services and supplies furnished without charge under unity's community care policy for palliative services in 2009 was $956,000.

Activity 3

Bereavement care - this program ensures that, following the death of a friend or loved one, no one has to walk alone. Unity provides follow-up care--mailings, phone calls, personal visits, and group support--to meet the individual needs of each person. A minimum thirteen months of care allows individuals to pass through all the "firsts" while receiving the reassurance that, although difficult, grief is a natural process that is different for every person. Unity's bereavement care is offered to all residents of northeast wisconsin, regardless of prior affiliation to unity. The cost of subsidized care for direct services and supplies furnished without charge under unity's community care policy for bereavement services in 2009 was $330,000
