Hospice of Chattanooga Creates Alleo Health System
The growing Hospice of Chattanooga family collaborates in Alleo Health System
Hospice of Chattanooga today announced the creation of Alleo Health System, which will serve as the parent organization of the growing Hospice of Chattanooga nonprofit family of service organizations in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina.
For nearly 40 years, Hospice of Chattanooga has provided family-focused care to meet the medical, emotional, and spiritual needs of its patients during their end-of-life journey, and to support their loved ones through the process and beyond. This commitment to provide compassionate care stands as strong as ever. It is the catalyst for the creation of Alleo Health System, which encompasses each arm of the Hospice of Chattanooga family, from its palliative care program, to children’s care and grief support programs.
“Over the last few years, Hospice of Chattanooga has experienced tremendous growth as we have expanded both in geographic reach and scope of services. Currently, we are serving 22 counties in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina. As we continue to grow and make a difference in the lives of even more people, it’s important to have a name that is reflective of our capabilities and our reach,” says Tracy Wood, President and CEO of Hospice of Chattanooga.
The network’s name is derived from the word “allay,” which means to alleviate and provide comfort. As Alleo Health System, it highlights and celebrates the mission of providing comfort and compassion to families in need and promotes both forward-thinking and future-forward expansion of care services in more communities across the southeast.
“With a renewed call to be ever future-forward and further-serving of our communities, we set out to find a name that conveys our passion, commitment and inspiration as an organization in the important work we do. In Alleo, we have been successful in finding a name that reflects all these core principles of Hospice of Chattanooga,” Wood said.
Alleo Health System will remain true to the Hospice of Chattanooga mission of providing family-focused care which is rooted in compassion, accountability, communication, enthusiasm, and excellence. Alleo will continue to further enrich the community through education, planning, and nurturing the aging process, and will remain the same fully committed, dedicated organization that has made a difference within community all these years — now with the power to help even more people.
With a renewed call to be ever future-forward and further-serving of our communities, we set out to find a name that conveys our passion, commitment and inspiration as an organization in the important work we do.
