For Patients & Families

The majority of Americans (80%) say they would prefer to be cared for and die at home, and yet only 38% of us receive hospice care. CHAPCA believes the best time to learn about hospice and ask about hospice is before hospice services are needed.  To fully benefit from hospice services, patients and families must be referred with a six-month prognosis to benefit from hospice services. 

Hospice Can Help

For Providers

It is our mission to support the Association members by providing high quality hospice and palliative care services to patients and their caregivers and to provide leadership in advocating on behalf of hospice and palliative care in California.
