As a community-oriented nonprofit, Iowa City Hospice is dedicated to offering services to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. End-of-life care may be difficult to discuss, but it's best for family members to share their wishes, long before it becomes a concern. When you give what you can - time, talent, financial contributions - your gift provides peace and comfort to families during a difficult time.

The Hospice and Palliative Care Association of Iowa (HPCAI) stands against racism, hate and violence. Across the nation, people are grieving, and we grieve alongside them. A basic tenet of hospice and palliative care is that each and every human life has intrinsic meaning and value and that every person living with serious illness is seen as an individual with a unique history, goals, aspirations, preferences, values and beliefs.
