Founded in 2000Founded in 2000 with an initial contribution of more than $456,000 from the Visiting Nurse Foundation, the Hospice of the Northwest Foundation was established to ensure patients receive compassionate end-of-life support beyond what Medicare covers. Over the past 25 years, the Foundation has funded enhanced services such as therapeutic music, massage therapy, aromatherapy, therapy animal visits, and care for uninsured or underinsured patients, helping improve quality of life for individuals and families throughout the region. The Foundation successfully maintained support for hospice services during the COVID-19 pandemic, has grown community engagement through its Ports of Call Gala & Auction, and receives meaningful memorial gifts that honor loved ones while sustaining its mission.
