A little about Memorial Hospice
Memorial Hospice was founded in Santa Rosa in the year 1997. Its headquarters are located in a Spanish-style home on Mendocino Avenue. Memorial Hospice is associated with the Hospice of Petaluma in Petaluma. Both of these hospices offer the best hospice care and grief support services to residents throughout Sonoma County, and both are operated under the St. Joeseph Health System. There is no charge to the patients, nor their families, nor the grief support clients for the service they receive.
Revenue is raised through general donations, the sales at the two Sack’s thrift stores, and through fund-raising events such as the POLO CLASSIC. These funds help to provide care for uninsured individuals, Volunteer Services, Grief Services, and Hospice’s Community Education Program
