June 11, 2020 was the 46th Anniversary of the date when construction of America’s first hospice facility, Connecticut Hospice, was approved by the Connecticut Commission on Hospitals and Health Care.
The anniversary was recognized by the Office of the State Historian and CTHumanities in a feature article for Today in Connecticut History entitled “A Breakthrough in Compassionate Care for the Terminally Ill”.

As a local not-for-profit, The Connecticut Hospice relies on donor support to provide individualized services and therapies not fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.
Your generosity helps ensure that every patient and family receives the care, comfort, and support they need, regardless of circumstances.
Our team is here to listen, help, and connect you with the right solution for your situation.
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, The Connecticut Hospice will host its fourth annual Waves of Gratitude Gala, bringing together patients and families, volunteers, staff, donors, community leaders, and supporters from across Connecticut for a memorable night of gratitude and giving.
