Working to Restore Residential Hospice Care to Portland
Nestled in the hills of the Southwest Portland neighborhood of Hillsdale, the Hopewell House served the community for 30 years prior to its closure in the fall of 2019. Hopewell House has helped thousands of individuals and their loved ones navigate with grace one of the most profound times in their lives: death and dying. Over the last year, Friends of Hopewell House has worked with Legacy Health to negotiate a plan to reopen. However, Legacy has decided to sell the house and surrounding property as of January 2021. Now more than ever we need benefactors and friends (the whole community in fact) as we raise the funds to restore Hopewell House as a beloved hospice.

Kristian Foden-Vencil talks to Friends of Hopewell House about the future of our hospice and how it will help Oregonians die better...
A pioneer in end-of-life care, Joan was instrumental in bringing the British model of inpatient hospice care to the U.S. She also helped craft Oregon’s state policies around hospice care. “I had worked in an inpatient hospice facility in England and learned not everyone can be home or wants to be home,” she says. “I was interested in the problems and solutions for people dying.”
Friends of Hopewell House volunteers have been meeting for a year to find ways to reopen the hospice. We believe that over the past 30 years, Hopewell House has become a rooted and necessary part of our community. The thought of this special building and property becoming something else after helping over 10,000 people die with grace over the years is both alarming and heartbreaking. Hopewell House has been a place of caring and love for them and their families and we need your support.
