Experience The Blessing Difference: Hospital From Home
Hospital from Home is a program that enables patients to receive safe, hospital-level care in the comfort of their own home. Blessing Health is the only healthcare provider in our region to offer this type of service and only one of 350 hospitals in the country, with the approval to operate a Hospital From Home program.
Blessing’s Hospital from Home program is available to people whose medical condition and treatment needs qualify for hospital-level care in the home, who live in Illinois or Missouri within 60 minutes of Blessing Hospital, and who are covered by Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, the only insurers currently paying for this type of care.
