The potential merger between the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is one step further down the road. NAHC and NHPCO “have developed a proposed slate of Transition Board of Directors and officers for 2024,” they say in a new release. “The Transition Board will oversee the transition to a new, consolidated organization pursuant to its ratification by both associations’ Boards of Directors in an agreement to combine which is contemplated in early 2024,” they explain. The combined organization has yet to be named, the release notes.
