2026 Goals:

In 2026, Home Health & Hospice Care remains dedicated to delivering exceptional care and meaningful outcomes for patients of all ages: children, adults and those nearing the end of life. Serving 25 communities across southern New Hampshire, we provide skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapies, medical social work and support from licensed nursing assistants. Our hospice team offers compassionate care in homes, nursing facilities and at our 16-bed Community Hospice House. Guided by innovation, collaboration, and heart, we continue our mission to bring comfort, dignity and quality care to every stage of life.

Fundraising Events:

Annual Spring Fundraiser, a themed benefit for the Community Hospice House; Annual Golf Tournament in June to benefit the Home Care and Pediatric Programs; Champagne Luncheon in November, a much-anticipated celebration with delicious food, shopping, music and champagne—a benefit for the Community Hospice House.

Giving Opportunities:

Home Health & Hospice Care and the Community Hospice House rely on the generosity of our community to ensure that every patient receives compassionate care regardless of their ability to pay. Your support helps provide free and subsidized care for those who fall through the insurance gaps.

You can make a difference by giving in memory of a loved one, including HHHC in your will or estate plans, or by participating in and sponsoring our fundraising events. Every gift, large or small, helps bring comfort, dignity, and peace to those we serve. Contact Paula Telage at paula.telage@hhhc.org or visit hhhc.org/how-to-help.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Volunteers are at the heart of our mission, helping us provide exceptional care and comfort to patients and families. From offering companionship and respite for caregivers to assisting with administrative tasks, sitting vigil or sharing pet therapy visits, our volunteers make a meaningful difference every day. Many also lend their talents to the We Honor Veterans program or help maintain the beautiful gardens at the Community Hospice House. With comprehensive training and ongoing support, Home Health & Hospice Care offers volunteers a rewarding way to give back and bring compassion to every moment.
