Black History Month 2023

This February, NHPCO is recognizing Black History Month, an annual celebration of achievements by members of the African American and Black communities and recognition for their central role in U.S. history. We are excited to share new and existing resources for our members and the broader hospice and palliative care community to learn about hospice utilization among Black 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.

    • February 9 from 2-3:15 p.m. ET – NHPCO Webinar: Cultural Transformation – The Vital Role of Governance and C Suite in DEIB with Keith T. Everett, MBA, MHA, CPHQ, CSSBB, MBNQA Fellow/Judge, SHRM-IWCS
