Join us for our first, Embrace the Journey Summer Walk! A family‑friendly community event that celebrates life, embraces every step of the journey, and supports compassionate care in our community.

Whether you’re walking in honor of someone, celebrating life’s milestones, or simply enjoying a summer morning in Anchorage, this event is a chance to come together, breathe deeply, and embrace the journey — wherever you are on it.
At Hospice of Anchorage, our mission is to offer compassionate support and resources that help people and those who care for them live well through all stages of dying and bereavement. We are here for anyone in our community navigating end-of-life, grief, or caregiving, and this event is a natural extension of that work.
Embrace the Journey will provide a welcoming, inclusive space where individuals and families can come together to connect, reflect, and experience moments of joy and meaning, no matter where they are in their life journey. Through simple, interactive experiences, we aim to encourage conversation, connection, and a sense of shared community care.
We are currently seeking community partners to help bring this experience to life. Your support directly contributes to making the event accessible, engaging, and impactful for those we serve, including individuals and families navigating end-of-life, bereavement, and grief.
Hospice of Anchorage has served the greater Anchorage community since 1980. It is our privilege to be able to truly know the people we care for, learning what is important, and honoring the path each person chooses to take at the end of their lives.
