Edmarc

Edmarc Unlike adult hospice, where life-saving treatment ceases and the end is certain, Edmarc offers hope. The minister's name was Edward; the boy's name was Marcus.

Established in 1978, Edmarc was the first hospice in the nation designed specifically for children. Edmarc is the only pediatric hospice organization in Hampton Roads. Edmarc was founded by the members of Suffolk Presbyterian Church in Suffolk, Virginia, along with their minister who was dying of cancer, and a young couple whose only son was dying of a progressive neuromuscular disease. The agency is named in their memory. In 1982, Edmarc Hospice for Children received a $300,000 grant from the Birthday Offering of the Presbyterian Women. This generous community gift funded the development and expansion of our hospice, home health care, and bereavement support services. Edmarc now serves a wide geographic area that includes the Virginia Peninsula and all of southside Hampton Roads.

May you find hope and love in 2026.

The wrapped up our Santa deliveries this past weekend in style! The man himself, along with Rudolph, The Grinch, and a posey of bikers toured south Hampton Road bringing presents to three of our families. We’re so grateful to this group who shows up year after year to make the season a little brighter for these sweet kids.

Buddy the Elf came for a little visit to show our staff the ropes around answering phones…

…and just like Buddy and his fellow elves work around the clock year round, Edmarc staff is always available to answer the phone for one of our families - 24/7/365 - because sometimes hope comes in the comfort of knowing someone will always be there for you.
