We are a non-profit, education-focused organization dedicated to promoting improved quality of life for the terminally ill, their families, caregivers, and friends. Our Story: In 1995, before there was a foundation, there was Crossroads Hospice. Grateful family members and friends of patients expressed their appreciation for Crossroads' care in the form of financial donations. These funds were given to promote hospice care for others and to share knowledge of hospice philosophy of care. Crossroads could not accept funds directly, so these donations were passed along to a foundation outside our local communities. Funds grew, along with awareness that our donors would prefer their contributions be used in the communities where their loved ones had lived. In 2003, Crossroads Hospice Charitable Foundation was formed to assure this promise could be kept. Our mission: Our mission is to help healthcare professionals better understand the role of hospice care in maximizing the quality of life for terminally ill patients, their caregivers, families, and friends. We accomplish our mission by focusing on education regarding excellent end-of-life care and by providing information and resources for use in care of the terminally ill, support for caregivers, and grief resolution for the bereaved.
