Mission

  • To provide professional education to hospice workers, the medical, business, and faith communities and to volunteers.
  • To promote access to End-of-Life care by increasing consumer awareness of its availability in Maryland.
  • To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas in End-of-Life Care.
  • To work with Federal and State agencies to enhance and improve Hospice care.
  • To act as a liaison to national, State and local hospice organizations.
