Home Health & Hospice Week

Hospices have a new tool to try to address disparities in utilization. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization has issued an updated resource, the Black And African-American Outreach Guide.

The topics covered in the outreach guide include disparities in Black/African-American health, outreach as a standard of practice, and strategies for reaching out to Black/ African-American communities, NHPCO says.
