From the moment guests walked in, every table was decorated so beautifully and every detail reflected the heart behind this event. It was more than just a luncheon and style show—it was a day filled with community, generosity, and so much love.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, and supported us in any way—thank you. Because of you, this event was not only a success, but a meaningful reminder of what we can accomplish together for the patients and families we serve.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you, and we already can’t wait to do it all over again next year. ❤💐👗

At Hospice Brazos Valley, we believe our community deserves to be informed about issues that impact the care of patients and families at the end of life.

A recent national report is bringing attention to growing concerns around hospice fraud and misuse of benefits across Texas—and what that could mean for those who need this care the most.

Our President & CEO, Lisa McNair, was interviewed to help shed light on what’s really happening and why accountability in hospice care matters now more than ever. This is about protecting patients, preserving dignity, and ensuring hospice remains what it was always meant to be—compassionate, ethical care.

Thank you for trusting Hospice Brazos Valley and for taking the time to stay informed on such an important topic.

A sweeping hospice fraud crackdown in California is raising new concerns in Texas.

This special evening was a small way to say thank you for the compassion, time, and love our volunteers pour into our patients, families, and team each and every day. Your kindness does not go unnoticed, and the impact you make reaches far beyond what words can express.

We are so grateful for each of you and the light you bring to Hospice Brazos Valley.

We’re so proud of our very own Chaplain Jeff for representing us at the Texas-New Mexico Hospice & Palliative Care Organization Annual Conference!

Jeff participated in meaningful discussions around open and honest communication in end-of-life care—highlighting the importance of compassionate conversations when they matter most. His heart for this work and the perspective he brings back to our team make such a difference for our staff, patients, and families.
We’re grateful to have his experience and guidance every day.

Members of The Non-Profit Hospice Alliance (TNPHA) had the opportunity to be at the State Capitol advocating for greater accountability in health care, specifically addressing fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars as it relates to hospice care.

We are incredibly proud of our President and CEO, Lisa McNair, for representing Hospice Brazos Valley so well, sharing meaningful data and insight on hospice fraud, specifically the significant increase (98.5%) in hospice licenses since 2020.

She testified before the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Protecting Taxpayer Funds and Preventing Fraud and Abuse, led by Senator Lois Kolkhorst. Her presence on the panel helped highlight the importance of protecting both patients and the integrity of hospice care.

As a nonprofit hospice, Hospice Brazos Valley remains deeply committed to doing what’s right—providing compassionate, high-quality care while advocating for the communities we are honored to serve.
