Posted 9/27/24: Featured Hospice Fund Raisers - compiled by Hospice & Palliative Care Today

Compiled from numerous hospice press releases; by Joy Berger, editor; 9/26/24
As hospice and palliative care organizations wrap up summer fundraisers and move into autumn events, we have been compiling sample fundraisers, looking for themes, community engagement, success, and creativity. Typically, we post outcomes--after an event--versus promoting it prior to the event. We hope that this compilation celebrates all persons involved, and serves as a catalyst for fresh fundraising efforts. Enjoy! We welcome your thoughts on this post.

Posted 7/21/24: NAHC-NHPCO Alliance comments on Hospice CARE Act 

HomeCare; 7/16/24 
The NAHC-NHPCO Alliance submitted a comment letter to the office of Rep. Earl Blumenauer (OR-3) on the discussion draft of the Hospice Care Accountability, Reform, and Enforcement Act (Hospice CARE Act), along with an overview and section-by-section summary. The Hospice CARE Act focuses on hospice payment reform and program integrity. The two trade organizations said they have worked closely with Blumenauer for years on these issues and are committed to continuing the dialogue to secure optimal outcomes for hospice providers and the continued delivery of quality care for patients and their families.
