Hospice Action Network

Hospice & Palliative · Tennessee · Free

Advocacy arm of NHPCO advancing hospice and palliative care policy. For families weighing end-of-life care, comfort care, or quality-of-life-focused treatment alongside curative care. Hospice intake usually happens in 24-48 hours from the first call; teams visit at home and don't require a hospital stay. Conversations about goals of care are most useful BEFORE crisis; The Conversation Project has free guides for starting them. Open at no cost to Tennessee seniors and the families supporting them.
