American River Hospice Services
American River Hospice Services is a specialized end-of-life care provider serving the Greater Sacramento region. Founded by Registered Nurse Phillip B. McMillan, the facility is part of the broader American River Healthcare family, which was established with a vision to improve the transition of medical care from hospital to home. The hospice program was built on the principle of providing the highest quality clinical care while ensuring that patients and their families experience a sense of peace, respect, and tranquility during one of life's most challenging journeys. The agency provides comprehensive in-home hospice services, focusing on comfort care and symptom management rather than curative treatment. Their interdisciplinary approach involves a coordinated team of medical professionals, spiritual counselors, and volunteers who work together to enhance the patient's quality of life. By offering care in the patient's own residence—whether a private home, assisted living, or skilled nursing facility—American River Hospice Services allows individuals to spend their final days with dignity and surrounded by loved ones. Unique to the organization is its deep integration with the local medical community through pioneering pilot programs with hospital systems. These initiatives have successfully reduced hospital readmission rates and improved patient outcomes in the post-acute setting. The facility serves multiple counties, including Sacramento, Placer, San Joaquin, El Dorado, and Yolo, making it a prominent healthcare partner for families and hospitals throughout Northern California.
