Campaign Overview
Now and Forever
Hospice Austin is devoted to making every moment leading up to the final moment comfortable and meaningful for patients and their families.
After nearly 50 years serving Central Texas as the area’s only nonprofit hospice, we are at a critical juncture. Our people, our work, and our care remain undiminished, but our facilities require major transformation. Making Moments will address these needs now—ensuring exceptional hospice care for generations of patients and families to come.
This campaign is more than bricks and mortar. It’s about building a sanctuary of compassion. Our new facility will allow us to extend the warmth, dignity, and expert care our patients deserve while also creating a space where families can find comfort and support.”

Stepping into sacred moments
As Central Texas’ first hospice and first nonprofit hospice, Hospice Austin brings decades of experience to every sacred moment. We provide care regardless of age, diagnosis, or ability to pay, reinvesting our resources in the patients and families we serve.
From hospice and palliative care to grief support, 24-hour care at Christopher House, and Camp Brave Heart, our services meet people with comfort, dignity, and compassion when they need it most.
“In healthcare, it’s so easy to just go, go, go. What makes us special is our ability to stop and just be present for patients and their families.”
