The Hospice Foundation was created in 2007 to provide four pillars of support for Center for Hospice Care: fundraising, stewardship, collaboration and education. In this issue, we take a look back at some of the milestones, facilities and programs that have developed and evolved with the generous support of a very giving community.

Much like the production crew that works behind the scenes of a Broadway play or musical, those who give to the Hospice Foundation (HF) to support Center for Hospice Care (CHC) are vital to CHC’s mission “to improve the quality of living.” From caring for those at the end of life, to supporting grieving family members, to honoring veterans, to educating our community – CHC and HF continue to provide the highest-quality care and service, including keeping our 43-year-old promise that no one eligible for hospice care would ever be turned away due to their inability to pay. 

Our dedication to providing innovative care for those at the end of life was recently recognized by the American Hospital Association. Center for Hospice Care and the Hospice Foundation received a 2023 Circle of Life Award.
