Pike County Health Department, Home Health & Hospice – Providing a lifetime of care to you and your family.

Agency Reviews

“Words can not adequately express my appreciation to Pike County Hospice for helping with the care of my mother… Treatment was unsuccessful and the cancer had spread… Hospice was the extending hand of God’s Grace, giving us just what we need when we needed it. Whether it was nursing care, counsel, emotional support – they were there at a beckon call. I truly do not know how I made it through those weeks without the help of hospice…I commend your staff for their professionalism, but more importantly, to a family who might be facing a similar experience, Hospice loves and cares and they are there for you.” – K.A.

September is Suicide Prevention Month!

"Suicide! It is such a scary word, one that is often avoided or danced around. Maybe it is because we do not understand, we do not know what to do, it makes us uncomfortable, or we have been affected by a loss and have difficulties coping with our emotions...."

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month!

"Since 1980, childhood obesity rates have more than doubled. Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for health problems that were once seen only in adults, like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

2017 Total Solar Eclipse in Missouri!

For the first time in 148 years (August 7, 1869) a total solar eclipse will come to Missouri on August 21, 2017. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth and completely blocks the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over the earth. The 1869 eclipse only clipped the northeast corner of our state. The upcoming eclipse promises to be even better as the center of the path will follow a diagonal line crossing Missouri from Buchanan County in the northwest to Perry County in the southeast. Depending upon where you are in the state, the eclipse will begin between 11:30 a.m. and noon until between 2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m....
