Hospice of the Calumet Area

What is your favorite memory of Dad?

Hospice of the Calumet Area, a nonprofit National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization member, is proud to care for patients and families in all of Lake and Porter County, parts of LaPorte County and surrounding Illinois communities, regardless of ability to pay. In 2023, HCA provided $3 million in charity, discounted or uncompensated care to those in need. This is a direct reflection of the community support of our generous and inspiring donors and supporters of our mission. Thank you to all who keep HCA near and dear to your hearts.
