National Coalition for Hospice and Palliative Care

The National Coalition for Hospice and Palliative Care (NCHPC) is a leading organization dedicated to enhancing and advocating for quality care for patients and families dealing with serious or life-limiting illnesses. Founded by five pioneering organizations, the NCHPC unifies voices among providers, professionals, and advocates to improve healthcare policies and programs. The Coalition focuses on palliative and hospice care, offering critical resources such as Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care, which establish standards for delivering exceptional care.

The NCHPC emphasizes collaboration among its member organizations to foster communication and coordination in the field. Their efforts also include advocacy for public policy initiatives that support access to quality care, especially aiming to uphold diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare practices. By conducting research and providing regular updates through newsletters, the NCHPC continuously strives to improve care standards and support healthcare professionals in their mission to make a significant difference in hospice and palliative care.
