The Nathan Adelson Hospice Foundation was established in 1984 with the purpose of serving as the fundraising arm for Nathan Adelson Hospice.
As Southern Nevada's only non-profit hospice program, the Foundation relies on the support and generosity of individuals and corporate partners. These gifts ensure that quality and compassionate care are always available to our patients reagardless of their access to insurance or ability to pay.
