The future of Genesis Hospice Care is getting close

We celebrated a special milestone in October with the groundbreaking of our new hospice care facility.

Scheduled to open in the fall of 2026, the new building will carry forward the mission of the Morrison House, which for 35 years has been a place of comfort and care for thousands of families during many of life’s most difficult moments. As the area’s only nonprofit, charitable hospice provider with a dedicated inpatient unit, it has played a vital role in our community.

While the Morrison House has served us well, time has shown the need for a new, modern facility to meet the growing needs of patients and families. In early 2025, we launched the Hospice Care Capital Campaign that will allow us to continue providing compassionate, high-quality care for generations to come.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, local businesses, physicians and the dedicated Genesis team, we’ve raised $7 million of the adjusted $7.4 million goal. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated or helped spread the word.

A special thank you goes to the J.W. & M.H. Straker Charitable Foundation for its generous naming donation and to the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity for donating the land for the new facility.
