Dr. John Mulder profiled in the Grand Rapids Press
Dr. John Mulder, vice president of medical services for Faith Hospice, was the subject of a terrific profile by Terri Finch Hamilton in the the Sunday, July 10th edition of the Grand Rapids Press. Here are some excerpts:
Mulder is also a musician who just held a big shindig for 200 guests in his Spring Lake backyard featuring two of the top harmonica players in the world — Buddy Greene and Peter Madcat Ruth. It was a fundraiser for Faith Hospice’s patient assistance fund and raised about $5,000.
At one point, Mulder joined them onstage with his guitar. An accomplished musician, he has recorded five CDs of folk music. For him, music and medicine mix, as he often writes songs inspired by breast cancer patients or overseas medical missions.
The article can be viewed on-line at http://www.mlive.com/living/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2011/07/profile_end-of-life_specialist.html.
Congratulations to Dr. Mulder. We’re proud to have him as a key member of our staff.

Faith Hospice receives approval for reimbursing room and board costs of Medicaid hospice patients
Faith Hospice is pleased to announce that its hospice residence, Trillium Woods, the only hospice residence in the greater Grand Rapids area, has received approval for 12 of those Medicaid beds. Twelve of the current 20 beds at Trillium Woods will now be eligible for Medicaid reimbursement for room and board.
Hospice services in the home are covered by Medicaid for eligible patients, but there are a limited pool of Medicaid reimbursed beds in hospice residences for those needing 24-hour care.
“In recent years we’ve seen younger patients on Medicaid,” said Susan Mast, executive director of Faith Hospice. “Previously, the only Medicaid reimbursed beds available were in skilled nursing facilities. In order to receive care at Trillium Woods, Medicaid patients had to apply for our benevolence program. Now, those who meet federally established hospice eligibility criteria can receive services in a home-like setting with 24/7 care available.”
For more information on our hospice services, in the community or at Trillium Woods, call (616) 235-5113.
