Who We Are

The National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) is an organization driven by passion and integrity to help people live fully through the end-of-life. Our most important ideas are learned at the bedside, not in the board room.

Our members are patient, family, and community-focused hospice, palliative care, and advanced illness providers across the country made up of like-minded leaders with expertise and passion for the mission of the highest quality, person and family-centered, mission-oriented end-of-life care.

The Difference We Make

NPHI members work to fundamentally change how people and institutions think about the last stages of life. We are experts in managing serious illness and end-of-life care. Our commitment is to help patients and their families experience the end-of-life consistent with their goals, values, and preferences.

NPHI is committed to person-centered advanced illness care to ensure individuals can take control of their life and focus on quality and comfort at the last stage of life.  We work tirelessly to define the standard of hospice care and guide patients and families through the final stages of life, providing assurance about the right things to do.

We are distinguished by our commitment to people and mission – our innovations are driven by patient and family needs, not profit. Our voice resonates with key decision makers and stakeholders in health care as well as in the communities we serve… to help people live as well as possible until they die.

Innovate

NPHI is creating, showcasing and replicating innovations in hospice to improve the end-of-life care experience. Each of the NPHI member programs are not-for-profit leaders in health care delivery and have spent decades providing high quality care to seriously ill patients within the communities they serve.

Their results have transformed the patient experience through the design and leadership of more effective and comprehensive models of care. Building upon their expertise, our members are working together to showcase and recreate their success to address the needs of Americans with serious illness.
