Bridge Palliative Care

Bridge Palliative Care professionals focus on providing care to those with life-altering illness. Our team specializes in treatment options, pain management and symptom management in the home, at a nursing home, in assisted living and/or at the hospital.

The goal of palliative care is to prevent and relieve suffering and to support the best quality of life for patients and their families. Palliative care is centered on physical, emotional, social and spiritual care. We provide relief of symptoms, help you make the most of every day and, if necessary, help prepare for a peaceful death.

Hospice of Northwest Ohio

Hospice of Northwest Ohio served its first patients in 1981 and is the Toledo area's largest provider of hospice care. A non-profit, community-based organization, we are the only local agency solely dedicated to caring for the terminally ill. In 2021, we served 2,570 patients and their families in their own homes, in nursing homes and at our freestanding Hospice Centers. We are Joint Commission accredited and Medicare/Medicaid certified. No one is ever turned away due to complexity of their care or inability to pay. Sincera Supportive Care and Symptom Relief was established in 2008 at the request of community physicians who were seeking additional help for their seriously ill patients who were not on hospice. A signature service of Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Sincera has specialized expertise in managing pain and other symptoms associated with serious illness or the side effects of treatment. The Sincera team helps patients with any serious illness including cancer, advanced heart, lung, liver or kidney disease, late-stage neurological disorders, dementia or debility due to old age. In addition to specialized pain management, Sincera’s medical team is also expert at controlling shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, sleep loss, constipation, anxiety or depression – symptoms which are among the most common concerns of those with serious illness. Especially helpful are in-depth conversations about disease progression, treatment options and personal goals of care. In 2017, Sincera became the first community-based palliative care program in Ohio to be awarded The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval®. The certification demonstrates Sincera’s commitment to quality and safety of services for patients and their families.
