Expanding community resources
At HopeHealth, our mission is to deliver compassionate, high-quality hospice and palliative care to all people. We’ve long been a trusted guide to families and a resource to professionals.
HopeHealth recognizes that not everyone has access to the resources and information they and their families need when they face serious illness, end of life, grief, and caregiving. Our Community Engagement Program is designed to expand outreach, increase awareness, and build trust, ensuring that all Rhode Islanders gain equitable access to palliative care, hospice, and grief support.
We want everyone to know that, if they need help, they can just call Hope.

"What I deeply appreciate about HopeHealth - and this opportunity to bring together people who are grieving and mourning- is what we can learn from each other when we have open and honest conversations, listening, and actively building a supportive community," said Potter.
"This grief experience goes beyond gender or skin color, and right to what our hearts and minds can offer each other in support and comfort."
- Harry Potter, Hospice Volunteer
