 Solomon Valley Hospice


Solomon Valley Hospice was started again November 1, 1997. Barbara Cashatt, RN., was hired as the director. As the idea was explored in the community, it was determined that there was a great deal of support for Hospice care similar to what the original Solomon Valley Hospice had provided until 1991. The new Solomon Valley Hospice, a department of the Mitchell County Hospital, took their first patient in December 1997. They were Medicare Certified on May 5, 1998.

They are structered with a Director of Volunteers, Pastoral Coordinator, Medical Director, Social Worker and RN's.

They provide in-service programs at area nursing homes and hospitals, along with presentations for service organizations.

They have two hospice rooms in the hospital that are provided for the comfort of the family as well as the patient. The goal of hospice is for patients to remain at home if that is their wish. They are dedicated to the patients' needs, especially with pain and symptom management, as well as providing supportive services to the family, with bereavement counseling available up to a year after their loved one's death.

All funds donated to Solomon Valley Hospice remain in our local communities. All donations and memorials are tax deductible.

 Mitchell County Health Department


The Mitchell County Health Department/North Central Kansas Home Health Agency operates under the supervision of the Mitchell County Commissioners and is administered by Patricia A. Dowlin, BSN, RN. The 18 member advisory board lends support and guidance. The Mitchell County Health Officer is the liaison to the medical community and offers medical support and advice.

In 1976, Mitchell County residents voted to form a County Health Department.

In the early years the public health department's focus was immunizations, family planning and public health home visits.

Home Health Services were started with a $23,269. grant from the State in 1979.

The North Central Kansas Home Health Agency became Medicare Certified in 1979.

As more needs of the community were identified, more services were made available through the Mitchell County Health Department/North Central Kansas Home Health Agency. Those services include over twenty different categories of related health care needs that are available in the area.

They provide a list of the Licensed Day Care providers in Mitchell County.
