| ABOUT FLORIDA HOSPICES AND PALLIATIVE CARE |
Florida Hospices and Palliative Care (FHPC) is a not-for-profit, IRS Section 501(c)(3) organization representing Florida’s hospice programs. |
| |
The mission of FHPC is to assure excellence
and access to hospice care, and advocate
for the needs of those in the final phases of life.
|
|
We fulfill our mission through the efforts of three “Initiatives”.
|
The Excellence Initiative oversees educational opportunities for members of the hospice interdisciplinary teams, as well as, technical and business managers. It also directs the Statewide Hospice Compliance Hotline and Consumer Referral Hotline.
|
|
|
The Access Initiative works to: remove barriers that could impede access to hospice care; expand the understanding of the end-of-life needs of Florida’s diverse population; meet the end-of-life needs of our Veterans; provide information and education to the general public about availability of hospice care; and raise awareness of the importance of planning for the end-of-life.
|
|
|
The Public Policy Initiative educates the Florida Legislature and the Executive Branch Agencies so that decisions made are in the best interest of end-of-life patients and hospice care in Florida remains the highest quality and most accessible in the United States.
