About us | Site Map | Contacts
Hospice care is a special way of caring for those facing a life-threatening illness. Hospice services are characterized by a team-oriented approach that includes expert pain and symptom management, along with emotional and spiritual support tailored to the patient's wishes. The most common misunderstanding about hospice is the belief that a hospice is a "place." In fact, most patients receive hospice care in their own home, although it can also be provided in other facilities as well. The California Hospice and Palliative Care Association advocates for those facing life-threatening illnesses. We provide technical resources to our members, monitor legislative and regulatory activities, and work closely with other organizations that share an interest in end of life care. We serve both California and Nevada. We partner with the California Hospice Foundation, to offer public and professional educational programs and materials to enhance understanding and availability of hospice and palliative care. |
