National Television Campaign Shines Spotlight on Solaris Health Care

Solaris Health Care's President & CEO Andy Milligan Will Be Interviewed on 'Inside Health, hosted by Peggy Fleming' on July 23rd, 2005

CARROLLTON, Texas, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Solaris Health Care of Decatur, Texas announced today it will be profiled on Inside Health, hosted by Peggy Fleming on July 23rd, 2005. Inside Health will highlight its top-notched hospice care for patients who ordinarily might not get any care at all.

Even within the same community, hospices may vary dramatically. Solaris HealthCare believes in reaching out to those who are normally left behind. President & CEO Andy Milligan strongly believes this is Solaris' mission. "The vision behind Solaris was to actually be able to take the complete services to the rural areas. There are, in many cases people who live in rural areas who may be hours away from the closest access to health care services. So we wanted to be able to take those home care services to the people that need them most in the rural areas."

Solaris Health Care has specialized end-of-life care since the late nineties. Considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury, hospice and palliative care involve a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's needs and wishes. Solaris Hospice, the first hospice organization to be featured on the series, is just one component of the parent organization, Solaris Health Care.

Solaris Durable Medical Equipment, located in Bridgeport, Texas, provides products for Solaris Hospice patients. Solaris Home Care offers private duty sitters, errand runners and other less medically focused services.
