It is intentionally designed with room to expand for future regional needs. Dick Anderson Construction is working to ensure the design is realized and meets the community’s needs and vision.

Features Include:

  • 15,200 sq. ft. total facility square footage
  • 12 private resident rooms with comfortable space for patients and family members as well as direct outdoor access
  • Multi-purpose gathering spaces and indoor and outdoor sanctuaries that welcome people of all ages and community members seeking education and support services

“The reason that an inpatient facility like the one that will fill this space is so necessary is because hospice, by its very philosophy, is not about death. It is about living as best as one can up to the point that death occurs.”
Dan Dixson, M DivLong-time chaplain serving the Western Montana community
“The care provided will be the highest quality 24-hour care, following evidence-based practices of hospice and end-of-life care. The Partners In Home Care nurses, social workers, chaplains and medical team, practicing in this state-of-the-art facility, will offer individuals and families who come here the gift of a personalized end-of-life experience, delivered on the patients' terms.”
Stan Seagrves, MDChair of the Embrace Campaign steering committee and a retired internist and hospitalist
“This project is truly grassroots. The majority of gifts received have come from individual donors, local businesses and foundations in Western Montana. Your generosity, trust and belief in the need for quality hospice care and resources is what drives this project. We honor you and are committed to putting your resources to good use by building and sustaining this center for generations to come.”
Amanda Yeoman MelroExecutive director of Partners Hope Foundation

Our family is pleased to be able to contribute our property on Union Pacific Street to Partners Hope Foundation for a much-needed end-of-life center. We hope that having this property enables the Foundation to quickly raise the funds necessary to build the center, so it can be used for the benefit of the Missoula community and the entire Western Montana region.
