Midland Care Connection

Midland Care Connection is a not-for-profit, community-based organization dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Our mission centers on "meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions," and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.

Hospice & Palliative Care

Midland Care Connection’s Hospice and Palliative Care program is dedicated to providing compassionate, holistic care to individuals living with serious or life-limiting illnesses. Our team focuses on comfort, dignity, symptom management, and quality of life while supporting patients and their families through every step of the journey. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Midland Care provides personalized medical, emotional, spiritual, and practical support in the setting that best meets each patient’s needs.

Nurse Practitioner

The Nurse Practitioner provides advanced clinical care to patients with serious or life-limiting illnesses, with an emphasis on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life.

The Nurse Practitioner evaluates patients, diagnoses and treats medical conditions, manages complex symptoms, prescribes medications, and develops or updates individualized care plans. They work closely with patients and families to understand goals of care, explain treatment options, and provide guidance throughout the hospice or palliative care journey. The Nurse Practitioner also collaborates with physicians and the interdisciplinary team—including nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other care professionals—to ensure care is coordinated and aligned with each patient’s wishes.
