Hospices are not funded the same way that hospitals are funded. Hospice is only 50% funded by the government. We rely on donations to fund the remaining half of the budget each year. At St. Joseph’s Hospice, we must raise approximately $1.3 million each year to keep our doors open.

Your Gift in Action

A gift to St. Joseph’s Hospice has a transformative impact.

Hospice palliative care is about adding life to days, not days to life. When you donate to Hospice, you help provide compassionate care to individuals and their families at one of the most important times in their lives.

Each day, our palliative care staff bring warmth and comfort to those living with a palliative illness. Each day, our client services staff match dedicated volunteers to bring companionship to the most isolated members of our community choosing to live their final days at home. And each day, our supportive care staff listen to those grieving the loss of a loved one and walk the individualized journey of grief with those who are bereaved.

“A good hospice is a place that takes dying seriously, that knows the possibility of beauty in the midst of pain. St. Joseph’s Hospice is a good hospice, a home on the way to Home. I would wish this gift to be available for many others facing that sacred journey, so that they too can be in good company while walking their loved one Home.”
