History

Hemet Hospice was founded in 1979 by a group of caring community leaders motivated by a common concern for terminally ill patients and their families.  Their focus was on providing hospice patients with the emotional and spiritual support needed during their illness.

While Hemet Hospice has seen many changes since 1979, we still remain the same caring and compassionate organization who strives to assure that our programs meet and exceed the community’s highest expectations.

Our Board of Directors, comprised of leaders and representatives who volunteer their time and expertise to our organization.

We are the organizers of many fundraising events held within the community we serve throughout the year. We diligently serve in this capacity so we can continue to provide the financial and personal support needed by our community’s hospice families.

We teach support, care for and educate our community – a growing community with ever changing needs. It is through our fundraising programs, Labor of Love projects monies received from donations bequests and wills that we are able consistently meet the ever-growing needs of hospice patients, their families and our community.

Our community has been generous to us for over 43 years – it is our pledge that we will continue to serve our community and those who have entrusted their donations to us.
