Overview

Mission

Friends of Hospice San Antonio is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer membership organization founded in 1991. We raise funds for uninsured and underinsured hospice patients, and we educate the greater San Antonio community about hospice care. We strive to ensure that vulnerable patients and their families receive the best possible care during their end-of-life journey. Our vision is to provide resources, information, and support to help these hospice patients through this difficult time. Through our membership drive, fundraising events, and generous community contributions, we pay for over 2,000+ days of end-of-life care per year.
