History
Community Hospice was founded by two nurses, one minister and a small group of volunteers who worked out of an office at Methodist Hospital. The program was certified by Medicare in 1983, and like all Hospice organizations in the United States, relies on Medicare for 80-85% of their revenue. Unlike most other hospices, Community Hospice receives no money from the local United Way; instead relying on the Community Hospice Foundation as a reliable source of funding. The remainder of their operating income comes from contributions from clients, fund raising initiatives throughout the year and private insurance payments.
