HopeHealth is a non-profit organization that relies on financial support from the community to fulfill our mission. Each year, we care for thousands of people who are coping with serious illness or loss. Your legacy gift will help us:

• Meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients nearing the end of life, while bringing comfort and support to family members.
• Offer pain relief and other palliative care services to help adults and children with serious illness live as long and as well as possible.
• Deliver hope and healing to adults and children grieving a loss.
• Help patients recovering at home from illness, injury or surgery by connecting them with nursing and physician care, therapy and other home care services.
• Ease the physical, emotional and mental stress of families caring for someone with Alzheimer's or a related dementia.

• Palliative Care - Our team of 43 providers works throughout our community providing symptom management, advance care planning, emotional and spiritual support, and improved quality of life—so patients with serious illness can live as long and as well as possible.
• Pediatric Supportive Services - Pediatric supportive care offers comfort and relief of suffering for patients and families facing some of life’s most difficult moments, all provided by clinicians who understand the needs of children.
