Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation Provides $30,000 Grant to NVNA and Hospice

Hanover, MA – November 18, 2020 – Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation presented a grant totaling $30,000 to NVNA and Hospice. NVNA and Hospice serves roughly eight thousand families throughout the South Shore each year by providing home care, hospice, education, and palliative care services. The grant will support NVNA and Hospice’s Grace Campaign: Celebrating 100 Years; a campaign that will establish a fund for families seeking care at the Pat Roche Hospice Home and expand NVNA and Hospice’s palliative care division. With this grant, the Pat Roche Hospice Home will continue to provide charitable care to patients and families in need.

“We are so grateful to our Rockland Trust neighbors for their generous charitable contribution to the Grace Campaign,” noted Renee McInnes, RN, CEO, NVNA and Hospice. “Their gift makes an immediate impact on the care we provide at the Pat Roche Hospice Home while helping to fund the future of our organization as we enter into our second century.”

At the Pat Roche Hospice Home, NVNA and Hospice elevates the standard of care for terminally ill patients and those who love them. The establishment of the Pat Roche Hospice Home in October 2013 created a comforting and dignified alternative for families confronted with end-of-life decisions for loved ones that are unable to remain in their own home. One of only eleven non-profit hospice homes in Massachusetts, and the only one in Plymouth County, NVNA and Hospice has cared for over 1,000 families and has remained committed to providing services regardless of one’s financial situation.

“The foundation is honored to support NVNA and Hospice’s 100th anniversary Grace Campaign and the Pat Roche Hospice Home,” said Edward H. Seksay, President and Chair of the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation. “NVNA and Hospice provides compassionate support and expert hospice care to patients and their families during the most difficult of times. Our grant gives families equal opportunity to focus exclusively on their loved ones, regardless of financial status.”

Rockland Trust’s affiliated charitable foundations focus on giving that supports affordable housing, community development, education, financial literacy, health and human services and youth programs.
