HOSPICE HISTORY
The Foothills Country Hospice began with the dreams & visioning efforts of some extraordinary local citizens who saw the need for a rural hospice home in the MD of Foothills.
A great deal of work went into implementing fundraising and public education plans, and it was through these efforts that the community at large became informed, engaged, and committed to the hospice project.
Through these efforts, a “Heart for Hospice” began to beat and the Foothills Country Hospice accepted its first patient on January 28, 2008.

Heartbeat of Hospice Radiothon
Foothills Country Hospice is thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of the Heartbeat of Hospice Radiothon in partnership with the Eagle 100.9FM, held on February 13, 2025. With the incredible generosity of the community and the support of matching donors, the event has raised over $400,000—far surpassing the initial goal of $100,000.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, volunteers, storytellers, and every individual who contributed. Your support ensures that we can continue to provide comfort, dignity, and care to those in need.
Amplifying Your Impact!
We are incredibly grateful to our generous matching donors, whose collective contributions amplified the power of every dollar raised during our Radiothon. All donations have been matched at a rate of 2.5 to 1, up to $100,000! That means for every $1 you gave, Foothills Country Hospice received 2.5 times that amount to support compassionate, end-of-life care for those who need it most.
