Memorial Giving
A memorial gift to CHHS Foundation is a thoughtful way to remember and honor someone you love. There are a variety of ways to give a gift that keeps on giving. Memorial bricks, pavers, leaves and branches are available for purchase and will be installed at the Alexander Cohen Hospice House, the lobby of the Haig & Isabel Berbarian Patient Services Center or the Veterans Pavilion located at our Spyres Way campus in Modesto. Your donation helps support the patients, families and programs of CHHS. You may consider a gift to have a brick, paver or leaf engraved with your loved one’s name and date.

Annual Dedication Celebrations
Angel Garden Brick Dedication
Tucked away in the quiet corner of the backyard at our Alexander Cohen Hospice House stands a beautiful angel statue. At her feet is a heart created by bricks. This area of the garden is dedicated to the children who have touched our lives and the families who have allowed us the privilege to care for them. CHHS Foundation dedicates these special pediatric bricks and hosts a dedication service each year, giving our families a time to honor their children.
Veterans Pavilion Celebration
Each year on Veterans Day the CHHS Foundation hosts their annual Veterans Pavilion Celebration at the Haig & Isabel Berberian Patient Services Center located in Modesto, CA. Community members gather to remember and recognize the sacrifice of our veterans. During the event we retire the flag that has flown the last year in honor of a special veteran and raise a new flag, paying tribute to a special honoree for their service. A small reception is held following the ceremony to honor those who have served our country.
Alexander Cohen Hospice House Memorial Brick Dedication
Much like the Angel Garden Dedication, the Alexander Cohen Hospice House backyard hosts our brick pathway under the garden arbor. Our patient families and community members may purchase a brick that is installed in this area, honoring and memorializing a loved one. The CHHS Foundation offers a time to recognize, celebrate and share about our loved ones at our Brick Dedication ceremony held in the chapel at the Hospice House.
Giving Tree Dedication
The CHHS Giving Tree is a unique creation designed by Jose Caballero. Community members are invited to honor their loved ones by purchasing a leaf or branch on the tree. Each year, several leaves are dedicated on the beautiful tree that resides in the lobby of the Haig & Isabel Berberian Patient Services Center to create a lasting memorial for loved ones lost or living. The CHHS Foundation hosts a dedication service to honor those who are represented on the tree.
