Hospice El Paso
Hospice El Paso has been serving our community since 1982, providing compassionate end-of-life care for adults and children. As the first and largest nonprofit hospice in El Paso County, we ensure that no one in our community faces their final moments alone. Our mission is to provide the highest level of quality care with compassion for both patients and their loved ones. Whether it’s our child life specialists offering emotional support, our volunteers providing companionship, or our spiritual counselors guiding families through grief, we are here every step of the way. Last year, we expanded our services with Palliative Care El Paso, a program for patients with severe illnesses who continue to work with their current healthcare providers but benefit from our interdisciplinary team. Every donation supports Hospice El Paso’s ability to serve patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Together, we make sure that no family has to endure the hardships of end-of-life care alone.

This year we are asking for donations for our Butterfly Program, which provides support to families whose children are undergoing serious medical care. Our pediatric specialists take a palliative approach when treating the child and help guide our families through the diagnosis. We are honored to work with Build-A-Bear. We record the child’s heartbeat and place it in the bear for the families to cherish forever. We also help grant wishes for our families and their children. Your donation can help us provide a child an opportunity of a lifetime, such as planning a special birthday party, or meeting their favorite local athlete.

We are also in need of donations to assist our palliative patients with purchasing medical supplies.Your donation of $75 could help us purchase needed at-home medical supplies that can ease their daily lives.

Since January, we were able to fund 75 of our 1,020 patients with their hospice care needs regardless of their ability to pay. For $180, we are able to cover a day’s cost of care for a patient in need.

All donations received today will help us continue our mission of providing hospice care to our community’s patients and families, regardless of their ability to pay. It will also help us provide them the emotional support they need. Your generous donation is greatly appreciated!
