Bill > HB1475

This bill requires the Indiana Veterans' Home to establish a hospice program specifically designed for veterans by July 1, 2026. Hospice is a type of specialized care that provides compassionate medical support and comfort for terminally ill patients, focusing on managing pain and improving quality of life during end-of-stage illness. By mandating this program, the state aims to ensure that veterans receive dedicated, comprehensive end-of-life care tailored to their unique needs and in recognition of their service. The bill amends Indiana Code by adding a new section that explicitly directs the Veterans' Home to develop and implement this hospice program, which will operate under existing state healthcare regulations (IC 16-25) but be specifically oriented toward serving veterans.
