About Lifespan
Lifespan is a regional home care service that was formed
in 1996 as a result of the voluntary merger of Visiting Nurse
Services of Southern Michigan, and Good Samaritan Hospice
Care.
Lifespan offers patients and their families a comprehensive,
high quality system of home care throughout the critical phases
of their lives.
From acute medical care, to home medical equipment and hospice
care, Lifespan offers the combined resources of a community
based health care provider, organized as an integrated, comprehensive,
home care system . . . for the health of our community.

Lifespan Vision
Lifespan was conceived on the premise that the home environment
is both the most healing and cost effective setting for many
types of health care and hospice services to occur.
Our vision also incorporates a true continuum of health care
so that each patient receives the appropriate services at
the appropriate time consistent with their condition and prognosis.
Each original service was strengthened as a result of the
significant synergy occurring when several independent, but
outstanding organizations, combine resources to focus on patient
care. Our services were also enhanced as a direct result of
our overall coordination with the programs and the future
strategic directions of the Battle Creek Health System. Our
goal was and continues to be, simply to be the premier provider
in southern Michigan of home health, hospice and HME services.
Our task is to improve ACCESS to health care and hospice
services for all individuals and families. Quality systems
stress a continuous improvement environment and further enhance
our capacity to deliver care and services as we achieve maximum
outcomes. Our goal is also to support, where appropriate,
the requirements of other hospitals in southern Michigan for
home health, hospice and HME services.
