“HospiceCare showed our mother and family wonderful care and compassion. It was a blessing that Mom was able to be at HospiceCare those last few days. All of the staff and volunteers helped to make her so much more comfortable and peaceful, which was what she deserved. Mom believed so strongly in all that HospiceCare provides for the community, and she would be so pleased with the memorials to HospiceCare in her name. What you provide for individuals and families is invaluable and we appreciate greatly all you have done for all of us.” —The Family of Helen Schuemann

Your Gifts Directly Support our Services HospiceCare Inc. is a not-for-profit, community-based organization committed to providing an unparalleled level of care. Although most basic hospice benefits are often provided by Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurers, HospiceCare delivers more than basic services. Your gifts of any amount are welcome; they support a variety of programs and services that directly benefit patients and their families, including charity care, patient assistance, grief services, respite care and clinical education.When HospiceCare receives your donation, a thank-you letter is sent. This letter serves as your receipt for tax purposes. HospiceCare also notifies the family of the person you are honoring. Donation amounts are kept confidential.
