End of Life Care
Compassionate end-of-life care is about more than medical treatment. It's about providing comfort, dignity and meaningful moments for patients and their families. Through the Howard Young Foundation's End of Life Hospice Services Fund, your generosity supports local hospice patients with specialized services such as massage therapy, sound therapy, pet therapy, and other comforting experiences that go beyond traditional medical care. Your gifts help ensure these services are available to patients regardless of their ability to pay, bringing compassion and comfort to families throughout the Northwoods.
