While hospice and palliative care often work hand-in-hand, they serve different purposes, and understanding those differences can help you make the best choices for your loved ones.

FAIRHOPE Hospice & Palliative Care is hosting a community 5k run and walk event at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Oct. 19. This event is open to participants of all skill levels and will benefit FAIRHOPE’s Memorial Fund.

FAIRHOPE Hospice & Palliative Care continually seeks volunteers that contribute to a mission of quality and compassionate end-of-life care for our patients and their families. The support of our volunteer team allows us to forge ahead devotedly towards a community that helps care for one another.

At FAIRHOPE Hospice, we recognize the distinctive needs of children and families facing the profound journey of grief. Our Peace – Acceptance – Love – Support (PALS) Child, Teen and Family Grief Support program delivers compassionate and comprehensive care tailored to the emotional needs of patients and their loved ones. Understanding that grief can begin long before a loss occurs, we offer anticipatory grief support to help children and families navigate this challenging time.
