Overview
Mission
The organization's mission is to build partnerships to enhance compassionate care globally. We are dedicated to improving access to hospice and palliative care worldwide.
What it reported doing in 2025
Global hospice partnerships - us hospice providers partner with another hospice (mainly in low - and middle income countries) to help raise funds and share information on best practices. To date, we have partnered 37 us hospices with a hospice in one of 15 countries. This has created opportunities for reciprocal exchange which enabled us to learn from each other and to provide and advocate for quality hospice and palliative care globally. We touch the lives of terminally ill patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, and other illnesses. In 2024, 90% of revenue received from us partners was sent directly to africa to support efforts on the ground.
