Consumers may locate a hospice agency or palliative care program in the state through the Find a Provider button. A wealth of information is available under Consumer Information on how hospice and palliative care providers care for those with a life-limiting illness.
Hospice is a philosophy of care that accepts death as a natural part of life. Palliative Care focuses on comfort measures - alleviating symptoms. The goal is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families.
WSHPCO, a non-profit organization of hospice and palliative care providers, stands out as a leader in promoting access to quality, compassionate end-of-life care.
Select About WSHPCO to learn more about the organization, its history, leadership and provider members. Other web pages have information of particular interest to WSHPCO membership, such as conferences, coming events and newsletters.
