The HCRI – Joshua’s House Volunteer Hospice
The Health Communication Research Institute, Inc. (HCRI, Inc.), was founded in 1989 with a mission to improve doctor/patient communication, specifically around end-of-life conversations. In 2015, HCRI, Inc. began a new journey – to create a hospice house for the terminally ill homeless in Sacramento, CA – Joshua’s House Volunteer Hospice – in memory of a young man, Joshua Lee Nielson (1980-2014), who had a vision of preventing these men and women from dying alone, scared and in pain on the streets or along the rivers of our community.
