Hospice in the Community
Hospice East Bay is a community-based non-profit with over four decades of experience serving the East Bay community. The support we receive from our donors and volunteers allows us to provide an array of specialized programs to our patients and their families, including Veteran-Centered Care, Pet Services, and Caregiver Respite for family caregivers. Most importantly, Hospice East Bay accepts all medically-qualified patients, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
Thank you to our Community Partners who are our most committed donors, who support Hospice East Bay by sponsoring annual events for other donors and the broader community. We appreciate your partnership and your commitment to our mission.
