Hospice Provider Membership

Corporate discounts are available to agencies with four or more locations/offices in their network.

Providers are encouraged to register each office so they can be included in CHAPCA’s online membership directory and in referrals from our office. In addition, 5 staff members of a member provider office is considered a CHAPCA member for purposes of registration for educational programs and other services provided by CHAPCA.
