Expert care, peace of mind, comfort, guidance and hope are what Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care strives to bring people of all ages and at any stage of serious illness. Let us help. Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care (KCH) was founded in 1980 and was one of the first 100 hospices in the US. KCH is one of the oldest and largest nonprofit hospice and grief support providers in the Kansas City area. We live our mission: To bring expert care, peace of mind, comfort, guidance, and hope to people who are affected by serious illness or by grief. Our vision is clear: Each person in our community is valued from life through death and each family is supported in their grief. Our Guiding Principles are Compassion, Enrichment, Choices, Expertise, Respect, Balance, Stewardship, and Excellence. As a mission-based safety net nonprofit organization, KCH serves all without regard to complexity of needs or ability to pay.
