Overview

Mission

Advocates for quality care for all persons with life limiting illnesses. Promotes hospice and palliative care education and ethical practices and serves as a united voice and resource for its members.

What it reported doing in 2022

The VAHPC faciliated monthly member calls to provide an open forum for hospice and palliative care providers, clincians, and allied professionals to come together virtually and share challenges and best practices related to the provision of hospice and palliative care services and managing staffing and operational needs in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a continued effort to find remote ways of carrying out the Associations mission, the VAHPC also worked with Skyways Media to produce and mail an End-of-Life Planning Guide to member hospice and palliative care organizations throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
