Best In-Home Care Assistance: Kansas City Hospice
For more than 40 years, when Kansas City-area patients and their families seek in-home care, they choose locally operated, nonprofit Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care. That’s because of our industry-leading care. That’s because we also make care available in our hospice houses or in care facilities: wherever you need us.
Thank you for your support; when you support KCH, you’re caring for your friends and neighbors. 100% of proceeds stay right here in our community.
It matters to you that we’re a nonprofit, because our focus is on caring for our patients and our community. We’re busy reinvesting in our programs, instead of maximizing shareholder profits.
As a mission-based nonprofit, we’re committed to providing the highest quality of care to all our patients, and to ensuring all those who need care in our community receive it – at any age and stage of serious illness, and regardless of complexity of need or financial resources. Thanks to our community of donors and supporters, we also ensure the whole family receives support all along the way.
Visit KCHospice.org or call anytime at 816.363.2600. We’re the top choice when Johnson County – or anyone in Kansas City – experiences serious illness or grief.
