Getting to Know Us
The Optimal Hospice Foundation is a non-profit organization established to commit its resources to activities which are intended to ensure hospice care and other compassionate programs are available for families facing a life-limiting illness with an emphasis on the underinsured or uninsured population. Programs include outreach & education, hospice care funding and bereavement support including an annual Kids Camp for children who have experienced the loss of a love one.
Optimal Hospice Foundation was originally created in association with Kern Hospice in 1979 – Kern County’s first hospice agency. In July 2001 when Kern Hospice was acquired by Optimal Healthcare, the existing 501(c)3 changed its name to Optimal Hospice Foundation.
