About VITAS Community Connection
We were organized in 2010 to provide financial assistance to VITAS hospice patients and families in need, and to support our community partners. Donations received from grateful families and friends in memory of their loved ones, and from donors who believe in hospice organizations, are used to provide support through VITAS Community Connection.
VITAS Community Connection is a 501(c)3 charitable organization (Tax ID 27-4027765). All contributions are fully tax deductible as allowed by law. 100% of every donation goes to local patient needs or as grants donated to our local community partners, who also provide aid to many VITAS patients. Donations may assist with expenses like utilities and rent or provide airfare and other patient/family needs.
VITAS is the nation’s leading provider of hospice care with programs in 14 states – California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin – and the District of Columbia.

Stories: Helping Hospice Families in Need
For those in the last stage of life, hospice addresses physical pain. It offers support for the emotional and spiritual pain felt by both the patient and the family. But there’s an invisible pain that runs rampant in families when faced with terminal illness. It’s the pain of knowing there is not enough money to pay for everything. These stories show how VITAS Community Connection addresses that financial pain.
