Cedar Valley Hospice
Cedar Valley Hospice is the area’s original and premier hospice agency, serving families since 1979. We are proud to offer exceptional support to individuals facing a life-limiting illness and their families throughout 15 counties in northeast Iowa. We offer a variety of services including hospice, palliative care, grief support for adults and children for the entire community and confidential case management through CASS for persons living with HIV.
Eucalyptus Tree Program
The Eucalyptus Tree Program provides no cost grief support to youth ages 3-17 – no Cedar Valley Hospice affiliation required. We know the death of a loved one is hard on those of all ages, this program offers activities to promote trust, healing, and resilience in a place safe for youth to express their feelings. The Eucalyptus Tree Program also provides support sessions for the entire family, schools and wherever there’s a need.
