There Are Many Ways You Can Help!

Our most important source of funding is gifts from people like you!

Your support of the Maine Hospice Council and Center for End-of-Life Care will make an important difference in the quality of life experienced by individuals and families needing end-of-life care.  The Council works collaboratively with health care organizations, providers, and consumers to identify and address critical issues of concern around end-of-life care.  We provide education, training, advocacy and research to assist hospice programs and other healthcare providers, as well as terminally ill and bereaved persons around the state.
