About Katy Hospice

Katy Hospice is Katy’s hometown hospice. The company was founded in 2004 as the fulfillment of one nurse’s life-long dream to serve those in their most crucial time of need. As first a nurse aide then as a registered nurse, Christine Fields worked in multiple arenas of healthcare in the Houston area as she learned the needs of the community and saw that there was a great necessity for compassionate end-of-life care in the Katy community. To this day, Katy Hospice remains locally owned and operated by Christine Fields and her team of licensed clinicians. Every treatment decision is made using that compassionate, nursing-care decision-making model first and foremost.

Since its inception, Katy Hospice has grown to serve the Katy area and surrounding counties. Katy Hospice’s dedicated teams serve patients in all environments, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, personal care homes, hospitals, or family homes. We are members of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and a certified provider for Medicare and Medicaid.

Christine Fields, RN
Founder & CEO

Christine Fields is that one nurse with a dream outlined at the outset of this page. She obtained her LVN licensure from the Memorial City School of Vocational Nursing and proceeded to earn her RN from Wharton Community College, where she graduated first in her class. She quickly developed an appreciation for the issues of life-limiting illnesses and the care required while working as a staff RN in a long-term acute care hospital specializing in the care of ventilator patients.

Since that time she has served as Director of Clinical Services for two home health agencies, a premier assisted living facility (she also holds a certification as an Assisted Living Manager in the state of Texas), and Katy’s best known senior service program: Sheltering Arms. Through those affiliations and in her previous role as the Director of Medicaid’s Community Based Alternative Program, she refined her fervor for eldercare advocacy. This background enables her to see and balance the diverse perspectives of our multiple customers: patients, families, physicians, and long-term care operators.

And in end of life situations, we realize it feels like life is puzzling and comes with more that its fair share of problems. And it is for life’s puzzles and problems that we commit to provide and to be Katy Hospice. We want you to know that every time we see our logo, we renew that commitment to you and to ourselves.
