The Big Bend Hospice Foundation was established in 1996 in order to raise the funds necessary to build the Hospice House. The Foundation continues today as the fundraising arm of the organization, charged with raising funds for the following programs. These services are available only because of private donations.

Emergency funds, made possible by your donations, help Big Bend Hospice patients who need goods and services not reimbursed by any payer source. Needs are determined by the patient’s hospice care team as essential to quality of life.
