Posted on August 21, 2025

South Central Regional Medical Center’s ComfortCare Hospice recently received the SHP Best™ Hospice Caregiver Experience Premier Performer award, a prestigious recognition for the high-quality care they provide to their patients.

According to Strategic Healthcare Programs, the organization that gives the award, “The annual SHP Best™ program was created to acknowledge home health agencies that consistently provide high-quality service to their patients.”  

“To earn this distinction, ComfortCare Hospice needed to receive highly positive feedback from a large number of patients and families,” said Dean Nickens, Director of ComfortCare Hospice. “Knowing that our patients and their loved ones feel truly cared for means everything to our team.” 

ComfortCare Hospice is honored to have received this award and remains committed to serving patients and families with the highest level of compassionate care.
