Since 2006, Giffords mission through the Last Mile event is to make lifes last mile for patients, their loved ones and families as smooth a road as possible. That could mean meals, travel accommodations, coordinating special events, transportation to appointments, in-home care, funeral expenses or just one final wish being fulfilled.

The Last Miles three-day event raises funds to provide palliative care services to patients staying in the hospital. Some benefit from end-of-life care in Giffords two Garden Rooms, special hospital suites with a peaceful atmosphere, garden access, and additional space for loved ones. Our grants also help patients who choose to remain at home.
