How are donations used?

One of the many ways your support makes a difference in the lives of hospice patients is through Integrative Services.

Sometimes, conventional medical treatments fail to completely manage a patient’s symptoms of pain and suffering at the end of life. For these patients, Integrative Services like music, massage, aromatherapy, and energy work can help manage pain, anxiety, nausea,  depression, as well as improve sleep and restfulness.

Despite their effectiveness in improving quality of life, Integrative Services are not funded by the Medicare Hospice benefit or other insurances. Because of this, we rely on the generosity of donors to continue to make these services available free of charge to our patients.

Donors like you help Hospice of the Northwest deliver individualized and expert clinical care that is as diverse and individual as the people they serve. When you raise your paddle, you help make treatments like Integrative Services available for Hospice of the Northwest patients.

Your gift matters: Your gift makes a difference.
