Hospice and palliative care are high value, high quality, patient and family-centered services that should be a larger part of any population health initiative. We feel that both of these critical aspects of medical care are highly under-utilized in the United States and strongly contributes to the poor international ranking of US healthcare annually. Our goal is to advocate for you, and the patients and families you serve so they can receive these high-quality services in a more-timely manner. We believe that improved delivery of hospice and palliative care in the US and worldwide will dramatically improve the quality of care that patients receive. Our program for hospice care education in Baltimore can help you achieve these goals for your health facility.
