We represent and support the varied organizations that align with our mission. HPCNM does not endorse a particular facility or service over another.

In that spirit, we engage in the following:

Promote efforts to create awareness regarding palliative and hospice care, and increase access to underserved communities

Deliver continued professional education to those vested in hospice care, including health care professionals, and community volunteers across private sector, faith based and civic organizations

Encourage dialogue in end-of-life care issues

Represent the voice of the hospice and palliative care community in federal and state agencies

Serve as a liaison between national, state and local hospice and palliative care organizations

As a private, non-profit, 501 ©(3) corporation, each day we work on behalf of our member organizations. HPCNM is not affiliated with, or endorsed by any state or federal bureau.
