Genesis Hospice Capital Campaign
Genesis Hospice Care has been an integral part of our system for over 35 years and serves as our community’s only nonprofit, charitable hospice provider with a dedicated inpatient unit. Beyond that, we are the only hospice provider in the area that can provide care at the patient’s home, family member’s home, nursing home, assisted care facility or at our inpatient Morrison House facility.
Morrison House offers patients a comfortable home-like setting to receive short-term care while giving family members a break from providing care or to help control uncontrolled symptoms. The Morrison House is staffed 24 hours a day with nurses and patient care technicians for the highest level of compassionate and quality care.

The Morrison House’s roof has significant structural issues. We have previously completed extensive renovations to extend the building’s usability, but the roof must be replaced in the next couple of years. Replacing the roof would stop care, leaving patients and their family members without a local inpatient hospice option.
Through due diligence, we learned a new building is estimated at $6M. Given these financials and the need to provide continuity of service, we have decided to maintain operations while a new structure is built and then move operations when the new building is completed.
