Hospice of Anchorage is the oldest and first Hospice to serve the Anchorage community. We were incorporated as Anchorage Hospice in 1980 and are licensed as a nonprofit Volunteer Hospice organization. 

We are the only one of this kind serving the Municipality of Anchorage. There are crucial differences between a volunteer and Medicare-certified Hospice.

Unlike Medical-certified hospice models, we are not reimbursed through Medicare or private insurance. Instead, our work is sustained entirely through the generosity of corporate sponsors, individual donors, and grant funding. We host our annual Hospice of Anchorage Gala to bring awareness to the beauty of the hospice mission and to increase advocacy for the ways Hospice of Anchorage can serve as a gap-filler when other local social services cannot provide assistance.
