My dear friend Colin was cared for at the end of his life at a hospice in London, England, and I am grateful I was able to visit and say goodbye. Connecticut Hospice, the first hospice established in the United States, is a nonprofit organization that provides compassionate, comprehensive hospice and palliative care. Founded in 1974, it remains a leader in end-of-life care.
Please consider making a donation of any amount to support this excellent organization.
More information about Connecticut Hospice:

Services include pain management, medical care from board-certified physicians and APRNs, emotional and spiritual support, bereavement counseling, social work, respite care, and expressive arts therapies.
Connecticut Hospice operates on a flexible care model, allowing patients to transition between home and inpatient care as needed. As a nonprofit, it relies on donations to support its customized services beyond what insurance covers.
