GRASS VALLEY, CA (MPG) - As we celebrate 45 years as this community’s only nonprofit hospice, Hospice of the Foothills is excited to announce that we are formalizing our structure a bit to fit all of our programs under one all-encompassing organizational name. Going forward, Hospice of the Foothills, Sierra Community Palliative Care, Foothills Gift & Thrift Stores, and our Bereavement Programs will operate under the unified umbrella of Foothills Compassionate Care. Each program/service will maintain its name and identity but will be united under one umbrella.  We feel his strategic alignment will highlight all that we do more clearly and reinforce our commitment to providing compassionate, community-centered care without changing the ownership, staff, or core mission that our community has trusted for years.

Same People, Same Care – Now Unified

This is not about changing what works; it’s about creating a formal structure that reflects the comprehensive care we’ve always provided. By bringing all services under the Foothills Compassionate Care name, we are reaffirming our dedication to meeting the diverse needs of our community with the same high standard of care, working toward our vision of having a community that fully embraces the journey of life and death.

“The decision to adopt Foothills Compassionate Care was made thoughtfully by our staff, Board of Directors, and Board of Trustees, representing our dedication to continuous improvement and responsiveness to our community’s evolving needs,” said David Franco, President, Board of Directors.

A Nonprofit for the Community, By the Community

Foothills Compassionate Care remains a nonprofit organization, deeply rooted in the community. Guided by integrity, compassion, respect, empowerment, and collaboration, the highest quality services will be available to all who need them.

“As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities to grow and continue our mission of compassionate care. We remain deeply committed to serving our community with the same passion and dedication that has been the hallmark of our agency for the past 45 years”, said Heidi Wingo, Executive Director.
