The Hospice Foundation of the East Bay was established in 1999 to raise the funds necessary to ensure the operating stability and future financial requirements of Hospice of the East Bay.

Hospice of the East Bay  takes pride in the fact that all medically qualified patients are accepted for care regardless of their insurance coverage or ability to pay for services.  Even when a patient has “full” insurance coverage, Hospice offers services which are essential to the well-being of the patient and family members but which are not compensated.

• Visits that occur as frequently and for as long as necessary rather than occurring at a frequency and for a duration dictated by insurance
• Visits from our hospice physician in a patient’s home or other care facility
• In-person visits from social workers and chaplains
• Footsteps counseling program for children, and community grief education offered through our Center for Grief and Loss
• Any services delivered beyond the reimbursement cap of an insurance provider
• Anna’s Program of support for women with recurrent breast cancer
• Volunteer recruitment and training

• Individual and corporate donations
• Grants
• Planned Gifts
• Gifts of equities
• Five thrift shops
• Community-sponsored events
• Foundation-sponsored events
• Diablo Appraisal and Estate Sales
• Vehicle Donations
