Gifts of Support
Your gift can provide quality of life at the end of life.

Say "thank you" with your gift: Gifts of support are one of the ways that patients and families often say "thank you" for the care they receive. Their gifts help ensure that others receive the same quality and compassionate care they did.

Make a difference with your gift: Gifts of support from the community help ensure that care is there when it's needed. At some point, every life is touched by illness and loss. Your gift can touch the life of a family member, friend, or neighbor when they need it most.

giving

Your gift will help meet the immediate needs of patients and families experiencing a life-limiting illness. Gifts ensure that everyone can benefit from hospice, regardless of their ability to pay. When insurance coverage falls short of paying for the full cost of care, gifts ensure that a patient and family receive the same quality care that everyone else does.

All the good your gift can do -

  • Treat a patient's pain and suffering with medication and ensure they don't have to go without because they have reached a gap in coverage or lack insurance.
  • Help patients who struggle with feelings of fear or loneliness benefit from social worker or chaplain visits.
  • Provide grieving families with support and counseling, and ensure that grief and loss support groups are there when needed.
  • Help provide nursing visits to a patient and family. Or help provide personal care and bathing through hospice aide visits.
  • Help train volunteers to make the last days of a patient's life meaningful - by reading to patients or writing letters for them, providing companionship, or helping to fulfill their last wishes.
  • Help provide pre-hospice care for patients through the Transitions Program - created for those who need more care but are still seeking curative treatment.
This is only a partial list of the ways in which you can help patients and families. Allowing us to use your gift in one of these ways will ensure that funds can be directed to the areas of greatest need. If you prefer to restrict your gift to support a specific program or initiative, we will honor your wishes.

gifts of remembrance

Gifts in memory are a meaningful way to express your sympathy and respect when remembering a friend or family member. Hospice & Palliative Care of Washington County has grown from a dream to a self-sustaining reality over the past 28 years, through the generosity of contributors like you.

No one is ever turned away from our doors based on their ability to pay.

Hospice services are covered by reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance. In most cases, reimbursement covers about two-thirds of the actual costs associated with hospice care. Thus, Hospice must rely on the generosity of donors to help meet one third of its operating expenses. Your unrestricted gifts provide significant support, enabling us to continue providing compassionate care for every patient and serving family members after their loved one is gone. Gifts also help us continue our outreach and educational programs, grief support and loss services, and the Transitions palliative care program.

Please call 503-648-9565 to speak to the Development Director to discuss your gift or if you wish to "donate later" through a planned gift. You can choose to remember the Foundation in your will or you can reflect your charitable intentions in your long-term financial planning. Explore planned giving options with your financial planner or attorney.
