Hennepin Healthcare Hospice is experienced in a gentle entrance, offering empathy, support, and care in the face of a terminal illness. Not only is the patient cared for, but staff work with family members and caregivers to answer questions and alleviate the stress and anxiety that they may experience as well.

Hennepin Healthcare Hospice provides care to hundreds of patients each year. These patients are from all walks of life. Some patients have families surrounding them with love and support, and others come to us alone. Some have financial resources, and others may be homeless. Some are ready to face their final days, and others need more time to process and accept that they are nearing the end of their life. Our patient-centered care model means we work to individualize the care for each patient and their circumstance.

The Hospice care team includes a physician, registered nurse care coordinator, hospice home health aide, social worker, chaplain, and volunteers who provide companionship. To enhance our hospice care, we offer complementary therapies, which include pet therapy, music therapy, and massage therapy. These valued services help to alleviate physical, emotional, and social suffering and add to our patients' quality of life.

Philanthropy helps Hennepin Healthcare Hospice strengthen and continue to offer complementary services to our patients. With your support, you can help provide optimal hospice care and make sure that our patients have a peaceful, comfortable end of life experience.

Each gift we receive deepens the commitment of our community and represents an investment in Hennepin Healthcare Hospice. Your donation helps us to provide all families facing serious illness and loss with extraordinary care-the kind of care we all want for our loved ones.

You may never know the families who will be touched by your kindness, but your generosity will impact the lives of many. You are a part of our team, providing the very best care to patients and families experiencing hospice now. Your donation provides hope and compassion, and we are truly grateful.
