Rob and Karen Hale have made a $1 million donation to NVNA and Hospice, furthering their commitment to improving healthcare access on the South Shore. This latest gift, separate from their Fox Rock Foundation’s previous $1 million endowment in 2022, will support hospice care initiatives in two key ways: $500,000 will be added to the endowment, while the remaining $500,000 is unrestricted funding to enhance hospice services.
“We believe strongly in patient care access for everyone, and NVNA and Hospice is investing in that priority for hospice services,” said Karen Hale. “As they prepare to launch a new campaign, we applaud co-chairs Kitty and Tim Pinch for their dedication to improving the state of healthcare on the South Shore.”
This generous contribution marks another milestone in NVNA and Hospice’s mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate care to patients and families.
“Meeting Karen Hale a few years ago and having the opportunity to talk about our impact while outlining our challenges was a privilege,” said Renee McInnes, CEO of NVNA and Hospice. “Now, two years later, to have the Hale family awarding our mission with another transformative $1 million gift is motivating. Karen and Rob speak eloquently on the opportunity for everyone to have access to healthcare and how philanthropy can play a role.”
NVNA and Hospice continues to expand its reach, ensuring that individuals in need receive quality end-of-life care. With the unwavering support of donors like the Hales, the organization is poised to make an even greater impact on the South Shore community.
