Hospice Caring

For nearly 30 years, Hospice Foundation of America has served as a national resource for free, accurate information and advice to hundreds of thousands needing the facts about what hospice care can do for people living with advanced illness and their loved ones.

In 2010 the Hospice Foundation of America invited Hospice Caring to participate in an educational video series that HFA is creating about volunteer hospices, grief, and other hospice topics, saying, "The goal of the program was to inform and motivate people to become a hospice volunteer--not exclusively for hospices that offer medical care." As the videos are finished, links will be posted here.
