What United Hospice does

United Hospice, Inc. is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospice organization founded in 1988 and headquartered in New City, New York, serving Orange and Rockland counties in the Hudson Valley for over 30 years. The organization provides hospice care delivered in three modalities: at-home hospice visits by nurse practitioners, physicians, and caregivers; 24-hour inpatient care at the Joe Raso Hospice Residence in New City; and hospice services delivered inside approximately 11 partner nursing facilities across the region. Its interdisciplinary clinical model includes nursing, physician care, social work, spiritual support, physical/massage/music therapy, volunteer companionship, and a dedicated clinical educator, with full-time physicians making home visits and 13 months of post-death bereavement support as differentiators.

The organization layers several specialized programs on top of its core hospice offering: United Kids (pediatric concurrent care for under-21 patients), Living Well New York (home-based palliative care allowing concurrent curative treatment), a We Honor Veterans Level Four Partner program serving approximately 125 veterans per year, the Healing Hearts children's bereavement program, and the Conquering Health Disparities initiative with bilingual English/Spanish care teams. The only Deemed Status Joint Commission Accreditation in the region is held by United Hospice for both counties.

United Hospice is reimbursed primarily through Medicare Part A, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans under standard hospice per-diem rates, supplemented by charitable donations including program-specific funds (Joe Raso Residence, Veterans Programming, United Kids, Bonnie Walsh Education Fund, Robyn Herbst Complementary Therapy Fund), memorial gifts, and planned giving. The organization employs 51-100 staff and is led by CEO Cara Pace, Medical Director David Chmielewski MD, Director of Nursing Rogia Rosemberg, and Director of Clinical Services Diane Ingenito. Revenue and audited financials are not publicly disclosed.
