Legacy donates to The Elizabeth Hospice

SAN DIEGO – The Legacy Endowment Community Foundation located in Fallbrook recently presented The Elizabeth Hospice with a $5,000 grant in support of the nonprofit’s hospice care fund and bereavement services for all ages.

The Elisabeth S. Wilson Fund of the Legacy Endowment Community Foundation has provided The Elizabeth Hospice with $33,000 in grants since 2012 to support the organization’s mission in providing medical, emotional and spiritual support to patients and families at the end of life.

"You truly do angels' work! The Elizabeth Hospice is a creditable, commendable and precious resource for the community," said Jan Pichel, Legacy Endowment Community Foundation program manager.

"The generous support from the Legacy Endowment Community Foundation and the visionary compassion of Elisabeth Wilson, will enable The Elizabeth Hospice to provide hospice care and grief support to those in need regardless of their ability to pay," said Jan Jones, president and CEO of The Elizabeth Hospice.

Hospice care uses a team approach in caring for individuals facing a life-limiting illness, also providing support for their families and caregivers. Hospice care is usually provided in a patient’s home or wherever a patient calls "home" such as in assisted living, skilled nursing, or residential care facilities. The Elizabeth Hospice provides its comprehensive care services throughout San Diego and the Inland Empire. More information is available at www.elizabethhospice.org.
