Hispanic Heritage Month runs each year from September 15 through October 15 and celebrates the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. This year, NHPCO is recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing new and existing resources for our members and the broader hospice and palliative care community to learn about hospice utilization among Spanish-speaking and Latino Americans, as well as offer ways for providers to improve access to high-quality hospice and palliative care. We hope you learn from these resources, and that they help equip you with the tools you need to act within your organization and community.
