Hospice in the Community
Hospice East Bay is a community-based non-profit with over four decades of experience serving the East Bay community. The support we receive from our donors and volunteers allows us to provide an array of specialized programs to our patients and their families, including music therapy, pet therapy, pet care, and respite for family caregivers. Most importantly, Hospice East Bay accepts all medically-qualified patients, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers, speakers, and musicians who helped make this year`s Tree of Lights events so special. Your time, talent, and dedication allowed us to create meaningful gatherings that honored the memories of loved ones.

Last Tuesday we had our annual Brick and Plaque dedication ceremony. This is such a special event where families and friends purchase a brick with their loved one’s name inscribed on it and it’s planted in the garden so we can remember those we love. Thanks to Paul Cotruvo for bringing special meaning to this ceremony with your amazing musical talent. Thank you to Jasmine and Walter of Mercedes Benz of Walnut Creek for your luxury transportation of our guests. ❤️ 💙 #hospicecare #brunshouse #hebcommunity
