Your participation in this campaign will ensure that, together, we are doing all we can for the people of future generations who will need exceptional end-of-life care.
Our vision is clear. By building a freestanding hospice residence, we will:
Designed and decorated like a private residence and overlooking a stunning nature preserve, the new 20,000-square-foot hospice inpatient unit will be centrally located within our service area and surrounded by a healing garden—a collaborative project with the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Our 16 individual rooms will include natural light and access to the outside as well as showers and pullout beds for family and friends. Each patient will receive comprehensive care from a team of highly trained professionals—physicians, nurses, certified nurse’s aides, social workers, chaplains, music services professionals and trained volunteers.
Designed to be enjoyed year-round, the healing garden will be visible from patient rooms and family gathering areas. It will also serve as a national demonstration site for horticultural therapy programming through the Chicago Botanic Garden. Learn more in Keeping Our Promise: A Case for Support.
Our care for our patients extends to the world they leave behind for their children and grandchildren. That’s why our building will be LEED certified, which means it will be recognized as a construction project that is environmentally friendly.
Construction is underway. Watch our progress as we build for the future.
