donating
Although hospice services are a covered benefit under Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance, some patients are not eligible for these benefits and are unable to pay for hospice services. Programs offered that are not part of the hospice benefit must also be funded from other sources. These include: Community Education, focused on end-of-life topics; and Community Assist, for bereaved individuals who have not used our hospice services.
