Philanthropy at Advocate Hospice
The time leading up to the loss of a loved one can seem not just frightening, but fleeting. That’s why at Advocate Hospice, we believe in making every day count. Our hospice teams do everything they can to help our patients, their families and their caregivers when they need it most — offering comfort, companionship and the guidance to transform precious last weeks, days and hours into time spent with purpose and love. A gift of any size makes a difference in our ability to care for our patients. One hundred percent of your gift will be used to support and grow our vital programs.
Below is a list of programs at Advocate Hospice that currently need your support.
Hospice Programs
Comforting those who face the end of life:
Your contribution provides wholistic, sensitive care to patients, including extra services that give patients respite from their illnesses, keep an extra hand around if they are alone or help them leave a legacy. Through soothing massage, music or pet therapies and activities like journaling, scrap booking and videotaping messages to loved ones, our patients spend their precious time the way they choose. Your gift also supports bereavement programs and activities, charity care, pastoral care, caregiver education, and volunteer training.
Hospice Family Care Fund
When those needing hospice care have young children at home, the family’s needs are unique. Started in honor of two mothers whose deaths left young children behind, this fund provides extras — such as tutoring services, rides to school functions, special outings — that help children cope and grieve.
