The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) have announced their signed merger of the two organizations. They are two of the largest organizations that represent, educate and advocate for home health and hospice organizations serving disabled, elderly and dying patients in the United States.
They believe that their combining efforts will benefit their members and the patients and families cared for by their members. They have been working on the deal for the last 18 months and most recently started the integration process. Over the next six months, they hope to finalize the integration process, name the new organization, and search for a new CEO.
Quoting Melinda Gruber, board chair for NHPCO “This alliance between NHPCO and NAHC will create the most powerful voice the care at home community has ever had. For members, it means access to the best education and expert advice, as well as a strong advocate for sensible policies that help providers deliver the best possible care to the millions of Americans who need it the most.”
