Did you know that our Kanas Center is nestled on a six-acre campus bordered by the Aspatuck Creek that features wildlife, native plantings, gardens and walking paths? Our patients and their families can enjoy the beauty and serenity right from the terrace of their suites.

Here is our headquarters. It may not look like much, but inside this building we coordinate the care of hundreds of patients each day. We answer more than one thousand phone calls a week from families, hospitals, physicians and field staff. Without the dedicated people who work here, there would be no East End Hospice.

Just 24 hours ago, flames roared around this building damaging our storage structure and spilling into the parking lot. People have said it’s a miracle the building didn’t burn.

We know the truth.

It was the dedication and skill of our local fire departments that kept our Headquarters standing. In the early hours of the fire, we received very little information until a text came through from a firefighter on the ground-

“we saved hospice”

We will never forget that moment. These are volunteers leaving the ease of a Saturday afternoon to risk their lives to save others. We share the common bond of community and compassion, and because of their bravery we can continue to provide our care to patients across the East End.

We are overcome with gratitude for this special community and all of its first responders.

Thank you so much from our team to yours.
