Established in 1980, Hospice of Anchorage is a non‑profit, volunteer hospice dedicated to walking alongside individuals and families as they prepare for and live well with terminal diagnosis, dying, and grief. As a non‑medical hospice, we do not require a six‑month terminal diagnosis or a medical referral to provide care. Instead, we offer extended support to anyone facing a terminal diagnosis within the next two years, ensuring no one has to navigate these challenges alone.

In addition to our hospice services, we provide a wide range of no‑cost resources designed to support individuals, caregivers, and families throughout the end‑of‑life journey:

• Medical Equipment Loan Closet: Access to medical equipment and supplies, which can be kept for as long as they are needed.

• End‑of‑Life Resource Center: Guidance on all end‑of‑life matters, including books, planning tools, and essential forms.

• Support for Individuals with Dementia: Specialized items and resources to help caregivers support loved ones living with dementia. Caregiver support bags are available. 

• Education & Advocacy: Information, events, and community education to encourage meaningful conversations about death and dying.

• Grief Support: Ongoing open grief support groups are held in 12-week sessions. Grief bags for adults and boxes to support children K-12 are available.

Whether you are facing a diagnosis, caring for a loved one, or navigating grief, we are here to help you make sense of it all and support you how we can.
