National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization: NHPCO enhances and expands access to care that addresses holistic health and the well-being of communities.
When You Die—Raising Awareness About Death: From existential afterlife questions such as “What happens when you die?” to palliative care and the nuts-and-bolts of green burial, if it has to do with death, we’re talking about it.
What Is Hospice Care and What Should You Expect? Hospice services offer physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical comfort and support to patients and families who are facing death at home, in the hospital, or other settings.
