Welcome to The Connecticut Hospice

img

Connecticut Hospice was the birthplace of the hospice movement in America. Today we are commonly known simply as Hospice, still setting the national standard for home and inpatient hospice care and nursing.

Connecticut Hospice serves anyone in need regardless of ability to pay. Your generous donations help us to provide inpatient and home care that empower the dying to live their final days in dignity and comfort. Your contributions also pay for the free care we provide at the end of life, so that the Hospice patients and their families are not additionally burdened.
