This year, Alive is honored to celebrate a remarkable milestone — 50 years of serving Middle Tennessee with compassion, dignity, and connection. Since 1975, our mission has been rooted in one simple belief: no one should face the end of life alone.
As we reflect on five decades of care, innovation, and community, we invite you to celebrate with us. We have created a 50th Anniversary page where you can:
- Watch The Story of Alive — a short film capturing how our mission began.
- Watch The Voices of Alive — reflections from families, staff, and community members whose lives have been touched by our care.
- Browse historical photos that highlight our growth and impact over the years.
- Explore our history timeline, tracing key milestones across five decades.
- Read stories from our past and share your own Alive story, whether you’re a patient family, volunteer, staff member, or supporter.
Our history is made up of thousands of moments of love, courage, and connection — and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.
If you feel inspired, we invite you to support Alive’s future by contributing to the Alive Endowment Fund. By including Alive in your will or estate plans, your gift becomes a lasting investment in compassionate care, ensuring our mission endures for the families who need us.
To make an endowment gift, please reach out to Kim Patterson at 615-390-5780 or kpatterson@AliveHospice.org.
