We represent and support the varied organizations that align with our mission. HPCNM does not endorse a particular facility or service over another.

In that spirit, we engage in the following:

Promote effort

s to create awareness regarding palliative and hospice care, and increase access to underserved communities

Deliver continued professional education to those vested in hospice care, including health care professionals, and community volunteers across private sector, faith based and civic organizations

Encourage dialogue in end-of-life care issues

Represent the voice of the hospice and palliative care community in federal and state agencies

Serve as a liaison between national, state and local hospice and palliative care organizations

As a private, non-profit, 501 ©(3) corporation, each day we work on behalf of our member organizations. We promote awareness, create dialogue, connect resources, provide continued professional training, and lend a collective voice to the legislative process.The Hospice & Palliative Network of Maryland is not affiliated with, or endorsed by any state or federal bureau.

Each March, we pause to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of social workers—professionals whose compassion, advocacy, and dedication are essential to the care of individuals and families facing serious illness.

In hospice and palliative care, social workers play a uniquely powerful role. They help patients and families navigate some of life’s most complex moments with dignity, clarity, and support

The Hospice & Palliative Care Network of Maryland extends our deepest gratitude to the social workers across our member organizations and throughout Maryland.
