How Partnerships Improve Hospice Care: Pathways and Superior Medical Equipment Supporting Patient Comfort at Home


At Pathways, caring for patients with serious illness requires more than compassionate clinical care — it also requires trusted partnerships that ensure patients have the equipment and resources they need to remain comfortable and supported at home.

That’s why Pathways partners with Superior Medical Equipment, an ACHC-accredited provider of durable medical equipment (DME). Through this collaboration, Pathways patients receive high-quality medical equipment, reliable service, and timely support — all essential components of safe and comfortable care at home.


Durable medical equipment plays a critical role in hospice care. Hospital beds, mobility aids, oxygen equipment, and other specialized tools help patients remain comfortable, maintain dignity, and safely receive care in the environment they prefer most: home.

Just as important as the equipment itself are the people who deliver and support it.

Recently, a patient shared the following feedback about Will, a member of the Superior Medical Equipment team:


"Will was an amazing man! Perfect for this job! He was so caring, so polite, explained everything so thoroughly, and was professional all at the same time! The equipment is like new, updated, clean, and functioning well! I am so impressed and grateful for this company and the services!"


Stories like this highlight the impact that compassionate service and attention to detail can have on patients and families navigating a difficult time.


Pathways and Superior Medical Equipment are both affiliates of Care Synergy, a network of mission-driven, values-based, not-for-profit healthcare organizations dedicated to caring for individuals with serious illness — often older adults with complex medical needs — by helping them remain at home, stay out of the hospital, and maximize their comfort and quality of life.


By working together, organizations across the Care Synergy network are able to deliver coordinated, compassionate care that supports patients and families when they need it most.


And thanks to dedicated professionals like Will, that mission is carried forward every day.
