Washington State Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (WSHPCO)

The Washington State Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (WSHPCO) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to taking a leadership role in improving end-of-life care through education and advocacy efforts. WSHPCO provides information and referral services to the public and supports the professional services at Washington state’s hospice and palliative care organizations. WSHPCO holds an annual conference at Lake Chelan in October. They also host regular educational webinars

While we are not an actual hospice or palliative care program, we are dedicated to promoting and maintaining quality, compassionate care for those facing life-threatening illnesses. We do this by providing information and referral services to the public and by providing professional services for Washington State’s hospice and palliative care programs.

WSHPCO is not a direct provider of hospice services.
