The group pledged $100,000 to the Chuck and Diane Stephens Hospice House. The completely donor-funded project aims to give end-of-life care for patients in a home-like setting.
The facility offers an alternative for at-home and inpatient hospice care. Programming will provide 24-hour care and complementary therapies and support for patients and their families.
