Hospice of The Red River Valley

What Hospice of The Red River Valley does

Hospice of The Red River Valley, now operating as HIA Hospice under the HIA Health umbrella, is a nonprofit hospice and integrated care provider headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota. Founded in 1980, the organization delivers intensive comfort care to patients with life-limiting illnesses across four recognized hospice levels (routine home care, continuous home care, inpatient respite care, and general inpatient care), supplemented by pediatric hospice specialization, palliative care, primary care (both in-clinic and at-home), caregiver support with up to five days monthly of respite, and grief support services. Clinical services are delivered in patients' homes, partner nursing and assisted-living facilities, and at the organization's dedicated inpatient facility, HIA Heather's House, within a regional service area covering the Red River Valley and broader North Dakota.

The organization is funded primarily through reimbursable clinical services billed to the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid, and private insurance plans, with additional revenue from community donations, planned giving, and North Dakota tax-credit–eligible contributions. Its go-to-market motion is referral-driven: healthcare professional relationships, lunch-and-learn continuing education, and direct community outreach generate patient intake, while volunteer programs and donor engagement initiatives reinforce brand and community trust. There are no proprietary technology platforms, software products, or AI/ML systems evidenced in the source data; the organization operates as a traditional clinical service provider with a website, patient portal, and standard content marketing infrastructure.

In 2024 the organization rebranded from Hospice of the Red River Valley to HIA Hospice, aligning its hospice operations with sibling HIA Health service lines (primary care and palliative care) under a unified "Hearts In Action" brand platform. The rebrand does not represent a change in ownership, legal structure, or service delivery — it is a portfolio unification play that supports cross-service patient navigation across hospice, palliative, and primary care. The organization has no disclosed external parent company, private-equity backing, or venture investment, and operates as an independent community-based nonprofit.
