How Support Comes to Life at MJHS
Every person who turns to MJHS has unique needs—medical, emotional, spiritual, or financial. While MJHS provides exceptional care across hospice, home care, rehabilitation and long-term care, philanthropy ensures that patients, families, caregivers and residents receive the added support that brings comfort, dignity and peace.
Your generosity helps bridge the gaps that insurance doesn’t cover, meeting people where they are and providing what they need most. Some of these gifts come to life through the programs and additional services we’ve implemented—services that go above and beyond traditional insurance coverage because we know they make a profound difference. These programs were created with intention, shaped by decades of caring for New Yorkers and understanding what truly supports them during life’s most challenging moments.
Programs That Bring Joy, Meaning, and Connection
Many of the donor-supported programs at MJHS exist because we have seen firsthand how deeply they benefit those we care for. Insurance does not cover these impactful programs, but your generosity makes them possible:
- Pediatric holiday gift giving brings joy to children receiving hospice care and their families.
- Music and art therapy for patients with dementia, creating moments of comfort and calm.
- Creative arts therapy is woven into bereavement support, giving families tools to process grief.
- Special celebrations and outings for residents, helping them feel connected and valued.
- Education for culturally connected programs, such as Veteran support initiatives that use virtual reality to allow veterans to visit memorials they may never see in person.
Your support ensures that patients, residents, and their families get access to these incredible programs they truly deserve.
