Hospice Of Anchorage is a volunteer-based end-of-life care provider based in Anchorage, Alaska. The organization offers palliative care services to clients and families at no charge, focusing on alleviating pain and other symptoms while teaching caregivers how to deliver appropriate in-home care. In addition to direct care, it provides anticipatory grief support and bereavement services after a death, and helps connect families with additional resources since it does not offer around-the-clock in-home supervision. The nonprofit operates within the philanthropic fundraising services sector and serves a local community through in-home visits by Hospice RNs and social workers, supported by a relatively small team. A recent initiative, Pictures with a Purpose launched in April 2020 to engage local children in creating art for patients.
