Above & Beyond Home Health and Hospice Care Celebrates 20 Years of Compassionate Care
Above & Beyond Home Health and Hospice Care is proud to celebrate 20 years of dedicated home health and end-of-life care services for Iowa families. Founded in 2004 by two registered nurses, Becky Cooper and Dianne Pedrin, Above & Beyond has grown from humble beginnings into one of East Iowa’s most trusted, not-for-profit home health and hospice providers.
Founded by Two Nurses, the Agency Continues to Thrive and Serve the Community
“Becky and I saw a gap in the system that we knew we could fill by offering patients and their families access to quality, compassionate home-based care. We took a chance and built an agency from the ground up because we saw our community needed it greatly. To still be serving our community two decades later, alongside Becky, is a testament to the dedication of our incredible team.” - Dianne Pedrin, director of home health operations.
Above & Beyond Home Health and Hospice Care provides compassionate, high-quality home health care to people recovering from surgery, managing ongoing illnesses or recently discharged from a hospital or medical facility. In addition, the agency offers compassionate end-of-life care for those with life-limiting illnesses – all within the comfort and familiarity of their homes.
The agency has expanded its services and expertise, but it has always remained focused on maintaining the core values that inspired its creation: integrity, compassion and a deep respect for each patient’s dignity.
“We are deeply grateful for the trust our community has placed in us over the past two decades. Thank you to our patients and their families, team members, volunteers, referral partners and other community members. The relationships we’ve built with our patients and their families are what drive us to continue going above and beyond every day.” - Becky Cooper, director of hospice operations
The original four owners in 2004: Becky Cooper, Dianne Pedrin, Andrea Hucker, and Brenda Monk.
Above & Beyond seeks compassionate and motivated volunteers to provide a special kind of support to patients and families in our hospice care program. Hospice volunteers can provide relief to the caregiver, emotional support to the patient or even just provide enjoyment by being a listening ear or holding a hand. Those interested in volunteering should contact the agency at 877-465-3059.
Above & Beyond Home Health and Hospice Care provides compassionate, high-quality home health, hospice care and bereavement services. Our devoted team of nurses, therapists, home health aides, chaplains and social workers understand and meet each patient’s unique care needs to achieve health care goals.
