The 1979 Legacy Society commemorates a dedicated group of volunteers who were referred to as the "Friends of Hospice." This group, under the leadership of Reverend Paul Brenner, the founder of The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care, actively advocated for hospital licensing from the State of Florida. Their unwavering commitment yielded results in 1979 when the licensing and incorporation of Hospice of Northeast Florida were accomplished.

By leaving a planned gift to The Foundation of Community Hospice & Palliative Care, those who follow the path laid by our early pioneers ensure the continuity of our compassionate care for generations to come. This dedication also guarantees that our services remain pertinent when families need it most.
