About

The Community Hospice is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing high quality end-of-life care to residents of eight counties covering over 4,000 square miles in Upstate New York State.

Some of the most vulnerable people in our community are those who are struggling with advanced illness, facing the end of life, and recovering from the loss of a loved one.  The Community Hospice is committed to serving these people.

While insurance reimbursements cover most costs, they do not fund the programs and services that reach out to care for Hospice patients and families in a comprehensive way.  No one is turned away due to financial need.

That is where your active support comes in.  You can join the caregiving team by considering a donation to The Community Hospice. Contributions provide funds for community bereavement services, community awareness, educational programs, and special services so that Hospice care is readily available, fully understood, and appropriately utilized by those in need.

Your contributions make many services possible, including:

• Grief and Bereavement Services
• Wish Fund
• Camp Erin for grieving children
• Wave Riders Program for children
• Extra services insurers don’t pay for

You can express your generosity through several different ways:

• Planned Giving programs
• Assisting with Fund-raising Events
• Annual Campaign Gift

• Board Chair
  James LeBrou, Esq.
• Treasurer
  Amy S. O’Connor
