About Catholic Hospice, Inc.

Catholic Hospice, Inc. is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care to patients and their families. Our mission is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves dignity, comfort, and support during their most vulnerable moments. We serve our community with a commitment to excellence, ensuring that our interdisciplinary teams work seamlessly to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those we serve.

About the Role

The Admissions Coordinator serves as the vital first point of contact for individuals and families seeking hospice services. This role is designed to bridge the gap between referral sources and our clinical teams, ensuring a smooth, empathetic, and efficient admission process. You will be the face of Catholic Hospice, guiding patients and families through their initial inquiries and coordinating the scheduling of admission evaluations.

In this position, you will manage a dynamic workflow that requires balancing multiple priorities. Your day will involve taking telephone inquiries, gathering essential demographic and medical information, and verifying terminal diagnoses with referring physicians. You will collaborate closely with Marketing, field admissions, and the Interdisciplinary Teams to ensure that every referral is handled with care and urgency. A key part of your responsibility is to educate families about hospice services and reimbursement options, helping them make informed decisions during a difficult time.

This role demands a high level of confidentiality and sensitivity, as you will be handling private health information and navigating complex family dynamics. You will also play a crucial role in expanding our referral base by maintaining strong relationships with doctors, social workers, and case managers. Whether you are coordinating overnight mail for out-of-state families, ensuring pharmacy compliance, or supporting the team during evenings and holidays, your work directly impacts the speed and quality of care our patients receive.

Hiring Process

Candidates selected for an interview will be contacted directly by the Admissions Manager. The process typically includes a review of qualifications followed by a conversation to discuss experience and fit with our team culture. We look for individuals who demonstrate a genuine passion for healthcare administration and a commitment to our mission.
