Leave a legacy
Leave a gift in your will and help protect hospice care in our community for all, for now, forever.
This is hospice care
It is finality and uncertainty, brave faces and shedding tears. It’s short days and long nights. Living for now with the weight of tomorrow.
It’s everything you’d expect and everything you wouldn’t
It’s also love and life and celebration. It’s care at home, and in our hospice, care for those dying and for those around them. It’s going the extra mile, doing away with convention and remembering what really matters.
It’s easing pain and bringing comfort, cherishing memories and creating new ones. Part of the community, part of our story, part of us.
It’s allowing our patients to embrace the life they have left.
This is the legacy of hospice care. But we need it to be your legacy too.
It wouldn’t exist without you
Just as this incredible support would not exist without our hospice, hospice care would not exist without you. A gift in your will helps ensure care at the end of life is here for everyone who needs it, both now and in the future. It’s ours to protect.
Help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.
