Additional Hospice and Palliative Care Resources

Since 1977, San Diego Hospice has been working to prevent and relieve suffering and promote quality of life, at every stage of life, through patient and family care, education, research and advocacy.

We encourage those interested in learning more about hospice and palliative care to explore our site [2] to learn more about our mission, history, services and programs.

As a leader in the field of hospice and palliative care, we are committed to staying connected with the regional, national and international hospice and palliative care organizations and communities, including:

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization [4]

This national organization is committed to improving end of life care and expanding access to hospice care with the goal of profoundly enhancing quality of life for people dying in America and their loved ones. Please view their website [5] dedicated to “Comfort. Love. Respect," the theme of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month 2012.
 

California Hospice and Palliative Care Association [6]

As advocates for those facing life-threatening illnesses, they provide resources to member hospices in the state of California, advocate on and monitor legislative and regulatory activities, provide continuing education to providers on end-of-life issues and collaborate with other organizations that share an interest in end-of-life care.
