Friends of Hyder Family Hospice House
Our Mission
is to support the valuable care for those with life-limiting illnesses as well as the long-standing vision to have in-patient hospice services available at the
Hyder Family
Hospice House.
Friends of Hyder Family Hospice House was formed in July 2014 after the April 2014
announcement of the closure of Hyder Family Hospice House, 285 County Farm Road, Dover, NH. The founding members had experienced first hand the
incredible facility and services at Hyder Family Hospice House and were
determined to offer support to help keep this beautiful place available to others.
Friends of Hyder Family Hospice made known its support to the Strafford County
Commissioners and Delegates and had reached over 850 people on Facebook
who were willing to support this in-patient hospice facility.
In July 2015, Hyder Family Hospice House re-opened and is in full operation today.
Over the years, we have enhanced the working environment for the hard-working staff and have
assisted patients in many various ways. We have used your generous donations to help maintain and beautify the grounds
and gardens. We have also purchased and installed bird feeders throughout the property which we keep filled so that
the birds come to greet the staff and patients.
