St. Croix Hospice Earns Highest Quality Connections Recognition for Sixth Consecutive Year

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn., Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- St. Croix Hospice has once again earned the highest level of recognition in the National Alliance for Care at Home's Quality Connections program, closing all four rings for 2026. This marks the sixth consecutive year that the hospice provider has received this honor, a testament to its commitment to delivering exceptional care.

Quality Connections is a national program designed to support hospice and palliative care providers in delivering high-quality care through continuous quality improvement. The program is structured around four key areas: education, application, measurement, and innovation. Participating organizations must complete activities and meet goals within each area to achieve the highest level of recognition.

St. Croix Hospice supports patients, families, and caregivers by providing compassionate care when it's needed most. The hospice service delivers exceptional hospice services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and wherever a patient calls home. With more than 90 locations in states such as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, the organization is well-positioned to serve its communities.

Quality Connections originated through the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, which joined with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice to form the National Alliance for Care at Home. The program provides participating organizations with education, resources, and quality improvement tools designed to support excellence across the care-at-home continuum.
