Next year marks a major milestone for Alive—50 years of caring for our neighbors! In 1975, local visionaries founded Alive Hospice to create a better way to care for the dying and their loved ones. They envisioned a model of exceptional clinical care combined with emotional and spiritual support—where laughter could coexist with tears, and life would be celebrated even as the journey toward death was embraced.
As the third hospice in the country and the first in the Southeast, Alive’s legacy includes building two residences, creating the region’s only grief center, supporting thousands of families, and offering end-of-life education to strengthen our community.
We’re planning exciting celebrations throughout 2025 to honor this golden anniversary, and we can’t wait to share them with you! Stay tuned for special events, stories, and opportunities to celebrate this incredible journey together.
We Want to Hear from You!
Alive’s legacy is built on the stories of the lives we’ve touched. Do you have a favorite Alive memory or story? We’d love to hear it! Share your story with us and be part of the celebration.
