Helping the uninsured or under insured

Hospice is a Medicare benefit, however, some of Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo patients do not qualify for this benefit if they are either uninsured or under insured.

Providing Crucial Funds

The Charlotte & Dr. Donald Shedd Charity Care Fund was created by Hospice co-founder Charlotte Shedd’s husband Don after her passing in 2007. This fund is designed to help offset the burden of medical expenses incurred by families in financial need. Recognized as a necessity since the beginning, these funds are crucial to those is our community who do not have some of the traditional means of coverage. The Charlotte & Dr. Donald Shedd Charity Care Fund allows us to offer the same quality and breadth of services to patients and families without insurance as those who are covered by insurance.
