Green Goes Red: What Heart Month Means at Crossroads
Together, we can provide care that truly comes from the heart.
February is National Heart Month. and at Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, it hits close to home for both our teams and the healthcare professionals we partner with every day.
Patients with advanced heart disease and congestive heart failure (CHF) represent one of the largest and most complex groups we serve. For many, heart disease has meant years of progressive symptoms, repeated hospitalizations, and difficult care decisions.
Green Goes Red is our way of recognizing that reality. and reaffirming our commitment to providing compassionate, specialized care for patients with advanced heart conditions, while partnering closely with the healthcare professionals who care for them.
How Crossroads shows up for heart patients.
Crossroads supports patients with advanced heart disease and CHF by focusing on outcomes that matter most to both patients and healthcare professionals: stability, continuity, and fewer crisis-driven transitions.
Patients with heart failure represent one of the largest and most complex populations we serve. giving our teams deep, day‑to‑day experience managing cardiac disease progression outside of the hospital.
Our care is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing treatment plans while providing an added layer of support as needs increase.
Fewer crises. Fewer readmissions.
Our interdisciplinary teams help manage symptoms proactively, reducing the need for emergency department visits and repeat hospitalizations.
By delivering care in the patient’s residence, we help:
- Address symptom escalation earlier
- Reduce crisis-driven transfers
- Support safer, more stable days between hospital encounters
Consistent support as conditions change.
Heart failure is unpredictable. Crossroads provides consistent clinical oversight as patients experience changes in condition. without disrupting the role of the referring provider.

Support for patients. And the people around them.
In addition to clinical management, Crossroads supports the emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial needs of patients and caregivers. helping reduce caregiver burden while improving overall care experience.
Built to partner with your care team.
Green Goes Red is also about partnership.
Crossroads works collaboratively with cardiologists, primary care providers, hospital teams, skilled nursing facilities, and care coordinators to support patients with advanced heart disease.
We align with treatment goals, communicate openly, and respect the role of the referring provider throughout the patient’s journey.
For healthcare professionals, partnering with Crossroads can mean:
- Additional clinical support for complex heart patients
- Help navigating difficult conversations with patients and families
- Reduced avoidable hospital utilization
- Confidence that patients are receiving comprehensive, compassionate care
Hospice care is not about giving up. it’s about ensuring patients receive the right care, at the right time, with the right support.
Let’s talk about supporting your heart patients.
