Patient Profile |

|
Since its founding in 1983, Hospice of Acadiana has provided care for over 14,000 individual patients with a life-threatening condition.
-
Each year, close to 50% of our patients suffer from some type of cancer.
-
Of the remaining 50%, the diagnoses include heart disease, pulmonary disease, kidney disease, liver disease, AIDS, neuromuscular diseases, the end stages of Alzheimer's, and general debilitation due to advanced age.
-
Since life-threatening conditions respect no age boundaries, our patients range in age from birth to 100+ years. Approximately 70-75% of our patients are Medicare eligible.
