The Trusted Authority
Everyone has a story. Here is ours.
The Beginning
Since 2015, the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) has helped shape policies and standards that ensure nonprofit hospice and advanced illness care remains accessible, sustainable, and focused on what matters most: the people we serve.
What we are working toward
Through collaboration and leading with a shared purpose, we are building a future where every person and family receives personalized, compassionate support at every stage of a life-limiting disease.
Who we represent
NPHI represents nonprofit hospice and advanced illness care providers across the country. Together, we advocate as one voice for policies and solutions that prioritize dignity, choice, and peace—ensuring high-quality care is available when it’s needed most.
To ensure all individuals facing advanced illness receive the highest quality care and support they deserve.
We achieve this through bold innovation, advocating for meaningful change, and helping nonprofit hospice and advanced illness care providers thrive in a changing healthcare landscape.
For a healthcare system where every person and their loved ones receive compassionate, quality care that:
- Supports their goals
- Honors their values
- Upholds their dignity
Our culture is built around five key goals & values
Innovation
In collaboration with our members and partners, we’re advancing new approaches to care that support patients and families. By looking ahead, we’re expanding access to high-quality, compassionate care nationwide.
Collaboration
Through shared ideas and smart solutions, we are able to ensure quality care reaches people sooner and supports patients and families throughout the entire journey of a serious illness.
Advocacy
Our team advocates for personalized, community-based care. By working with policymakers, we protect nonprofit providers and ensure a sustainable future where they can thrive.
Quality
We gather and analyze data to improve care and go beyond Medicare’s requirements. This helps us set standards that ensure patients and families get the best care possible.
Excellence
NPHI gives members tools, resources, and connections to share ideas, solve challenges, and deliver the highest-quality care.

We're a Fierce 50 Organization
We earned our spot among Fierce Healthcare’s Fierce 50, a celebration of our
“fierce, bold, and innovative” commitment to improving hospice care.
Greater together.
NPHI’s member providers bring strength, leadership, and innovation to advanced illness and hospice care. By uniting our collective voice, we enhance the care experience for all people facing the end of life.
We represent a broad spectrum of providers — from large, legacy organizations caring for thousands each day to small, rural programs serving tight-knit communities. Regardless of size, every NPHI member is a nonprofit, mission-driven organization committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
Because end-of-life care can only be done right the first time, our members are deeply dedicated to honoring each patient’s unique journey — with dignity, respect, and humanity at the center of everything we do.
