We empower communities to help people die wherever they call home

Increasing access to compassionate and culturally-sensitive end-of-life care since 2014

Home Hospice Association (HHA) exists to bring compassionate end-of-life care to anyone facing death, as well as their loved ones. We focus on expanding access to end-of-life care, particularly for underserved populations, and work to build the capacity of care providers and volunteers to meet diverse needs in a meaningful and compassionate way.

Our HHA Community

We are a community of death workers, volunteers, staff, interns, educators, facilitators, and community partners, united in our commitment to supporting individuals, families, and communities as they navigate dying, death, grief, and loss with dignity and compassion.

Drawing the circle of end-of-life care wider in a holistic, culturally sensitive manner 

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
DEATH EDUCATION

Normalizing death through education to professionals, children, families and communities  

At HHA, we work to normalize conversations about dying, death, and grief. In societies where these topics are silenced or ignored, people often struggle to find the support they need when they or a loved one are facing the end of life.

 

Remember, talking about death won't kill you. Join our Death Cafes and discover the benefits of engaging with mortality in a supportive community environment.
