Rainbow Hospice Care recently opened their doors to State Rep. Scott Johnson (R-Jefferson), providing the first-term Wisconsin legislator with a tour of their state-of-the-art inpatient center in Johnson Creek, WI.

Founded in 1990 by a dedicated group of volunteers, Rainbow Hospice Care is one of the state’s few remaining local, independent non-profit programs and remains committed to giving back to the communities it serves.

Led by WiHPCA board member and Rainbow Hospice President and CEO Karen Carrig, the Rainbow Hospice team spent well over an hour with Rep. Johnson discussing the value of hospice and palliative care in communities across Wisconsin, the mission of WiHPCA, and the regulatory and legislative challenges faced by the hospice industry. In addition, Rep. Johnson was able to see firsthand the tremendous care provided at Rainbow Hospice’s inpatient center.

WiHPCA thanks Karen and her dedicated team for hosting Rep. Johnson and participating in WiHPCA’s

legislative advocacy outreach program. Our advocacy efforts aim to connect members with their local state legislators and members of Congress to advocate for programs and polices that improve the delivery of hospice and palliative care, support hospice care professionals, and enhance services provided to patients and their families.
