History
Hospice of Havasu was founded as a volunteer organization in the spring of 1982 by Rev. Barrie Gray after he and board members including Allen and Jean Lovejoy visited hospice agencies around the United States.
The agency was incorporated July 19, 1982 as a not-for-profit organization, and opened to serve patients in 1983. Hospice of Havasu helps those with life-limiting illnesses make the most of the time they have left.
