Improving the Quality of Living at Center for Hospice Care

By: Center for Hospice Care Last Updated: August 27, 2019

Center for Hospice Care’s DNA is intertwined with the community. We exist because of the vision and collaboration of community members and organizations that helped launch us. That memory is part of what fuels our commitment to improve the quality of living in the community.

It’s part of the reason we collaborate with and support other organizations to serve the community. There are more than 40 local not-for-profits we partner with regularly – along with countless others we support throughout the year. This support ranges from hosting community events, offering the use of our conference spaces, and supporting fundraising events hosted by our partners.

We are humbled that our impact has been recognized throughout the community with several special awards.

2010 Not-For-Profit of the Year Award – Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce

The Business Recognition Council of the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce named Center for Hospice Care as the recipient of its 2010 Non-Profit of the Year Award.

The formal presentation of this award took place during the Chamber’s annual meeting, which drew over 400 attendees.

2011 Business of the Year Award – REAL Services, Inc.

REAL Services honored CHC with the Business of the Year Award at their Age of Excellence Awards Luncheon in 2011. The Age of Excellence Awards celebrate unsung heroes in REAL Services’ six-county service area who give of themselves to care for elderly and low-income individuals.
