Recognition societies honor and thank patients, friends, faculty, staff and alumni who help advance UC Davis Hospice's mission through generous financial support. Society members enjoy a number of benefits, including invitations to members-only events and special university communications. For all societies, membership is determined by gifts in a fiscal year, which is from July 1 to June 30.
