ABOUT US
As the largest not-for-profit hospice provider in Michigan, we offer comfort and peace for patients and their loved ones.
HISTORY
A Legacy of Caring
At Hospice of Michigan, we believe no one should face the end of life alone. Everyone has the right to spend their final months free of physical, emotional and spiritual pain in an environment where they are most secure. By providing exceptional medical care to patients and expert caregiver support – delivered by capable, dedicated, compassionate professionals – we help families focus on what’s most important to them.
Founded more than 40 years ago by a diverse group of community volunteers, Hospice of Michigan is the state’s pioneer not-for-profit hospice organization. Today, Hospice of Michigan serves more than 4,000 patients annually in 50 counties across the lower peninsula. As the most experienced provider of hospice care in Michigan, Hospice of Michigan is also the largest not-for-profit hospice in the state, and among the largest recognized 501c3 not-for-profit advanced illness management organizations in the nation.
Hospice of Michigan provides care for all—regardless of age, diagnosis, or financial circumstances. Last year, our commitment extended $4 million beyond what was reimbursed by insurance. Because we welcome those who are uninsured, or whose treatment is more expensive than what other hospices can provide, we depend on the financial support of donors for the treatments, medications, services, grief support, and spiritual care of patients and families in need.
HOSPICE OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATION
The Hospice of Michigan Foundation generates financial support to ensure that every person who seeks our care is able to receive it. Philanthropic giving also funds the research, education and innovation initiatives at the NorthStar Institute that focus on improving quality of life for patients and families facing serious illness. We continue to rely on gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations to fulfill the Hospice of Michigan mission. Learn more about the many ways you can help Hospice of Michigan.
NORTHSTAR INSTITUTE
The first of its kind in Michigan, the NorthStar Institute is the research and innovation arm of Hospice of Michigan and all members of the NorthStar Care Community. Focused on improving quality of life for patients and families facing serious illness care at the local, state and national levels, the NorthStar Institute is a source of groundbreaking research, education, and community outreach initiatives. The Institute also serves as a forum where healthcare experts can exchange ideas, collaborate, and explore new ways to improve care.
