Celebrate our 40th with #40for40!

Hospice Care Plus is celebrating 40 years of compassionate care.

When our doors opened in 1981, our goal was simple: provide quality care to those dealing with a serious illness and their families. Our small, all-volunteer team worked out of the trunks of their cars and provided care to about 40 patients a day. Today, we serve 100 patients daily across six counties, providing palliative, hospice, and bereavement care. We simply could not provide this level of care without the sustaining support of our community: donors, volunteers, partners, and our staff. Over the past 40 years, we have witnessed so many amazing moments made possible by the caring and compassionate souls who have supported our mission. Nancy’s story is one of those, and you can read it online. It’s a remarkable insight into the varied forms in which peace may come. For Nancy, it was a big, yellow school bus.

To celebrate our anniversary and to make more stories like Nancy’s possible, we are inviting the community to participate in the #40for40 Anniversary Challenge. You can participate by making a donation in a multiple of $40 in honor or memory of a loved one or someone special. To participate, visit the #40for40 Anniversary Challenge online

Thank you for helping us celebrate 40 years of caring for our community.
