Foundation for Hospice and Homecare

The foundation’s mission is to enhance health care by bringing it home. Since 1982, FHHC has shared this goal with its sister organization, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. NAHC represents the nurses, therapists, social workers, and aides who serve patients and families where they want to be most: in the comfort of their homes. More people will want home care and hospice as the baby boomers reach their golden years. The age wave is sweeping in new challenges for our nation’s caregivers and they can meet the demand with your support. Take advantage of this golden chance to help the foundation advance high-quality care for the aged, disabled, and dying. Your funds support our vital efforts to improve public awareness and caregiver education:

• Developing guidelines for certification and accreditation of health care professionals
• Strengthening home care and hospice quality standards
• Fostering ethical conduct in the delivery of home care and hospice services
• Researching laws, policies, and emerging trends that affect caregivers and their patients
• Raising awareness of home care and hospice through public relations campaigns

Our mission spans the nation and brings us in frequent contact with Congress, just minutes away from our office at 228 7th Street, SE, in Washington DC. The nation’s capitol is the hub of lawmaking that affects health care. You, too, can have an impact by helping us make home care and hospice the heart of health care in our country. Your tax-deductible contribution builds a future in which everyone has access to the care they need at home.
