Help us raise money

The Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation is a registered charity created to support Cape Cod Hospital, Falmouth Hospital, the Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod and critical services including the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support program, the JML Care Center and the Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod Hospice. Because of your generosity, Cape Cod Healthcare remains a non-profit, independent community-based healthcare system and delivers the highest quality, accessible health services, which enhance the health of all Cape Cod residents and visitors.

This year our runners will be raising funds in support of the VNA of Cape Cod Hospice. VNA Hospice is the highest-rated hospice on Cape Cod and offers more services, both clinical and complementary, than any other hospice in the region. The hospice staff work as a team with the person, family, and caregivers to maximize physical comfort and provide ongoing emotional support.

Hospice care services may be appropriate when:

• You are thinking about ending curative treatments
• You are diagnosed with a condition such as heart failure, COPD, end-stage renal disease, dementia, cancer, or stroke and your illness is at a life-limiting stage
• Your symptoms are becoming harder to manage
• You are spending more time in the hospital, with less time between hospitalizations
• Your main priority is comfort and relief from pain or other symptoms
