Hospice Action Network

Hospice & Palliative · South Dakota · Free

Advocacy arm of NHPCO advancing hospice and palliative care policy. Relevant for any seriously ill senior whose symptoms (pain, breathlessness, anxiety) aren't being well-managed. Palliative care can start at any stage and works alongside oncology, cardiology, or other curative teams. Hospice does not shorten life on average; some studies suggest it lengthens life slightly by reducing aggressive end-of-life treatment. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
