For the past 45 years, Community Hospice & Health Services has walked along side patients and families as they enter the sunset of life. Founded in a church attic by two volunteer registered nurses, we are the oldest and largest non-profit hospice provider in the San Joaquin Valley.  In 2001 the Community Hospice & Health Services Foundation was started to help Community Hospice & Health Services meet the evolving needs of the Central Valley. Community Hospice & Health Services and the Foundation have garnered support to ensure quality patient care through life-changing journeys for thousands in our region. We believe everyone in our community has the right to walk their life’s journey with dignity and peace, regardless of ability to pay…this is our promise.

According to the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, nonprofit organizations should spend at least 65 percent of their total expenses on program activities, with the remaining funds going to administrative and fundraising expenses. At Community Hospice & Health Services, we meet and exceed these minimum guidelines with 82 percent of your donation dollars going to patient care, grief services and educating the community.
