NHPCO’s National Council of Hospice and Palliative Professionals (NCHPP) is comprised of 40,000 staff and volunteers who work for NHPCO provider-members. Organized into 15 discipline-specific sections that are led by the NCHPP chair, vice chair and 15 section leaders, NCHPP represents the perspectives of the interdisciplinary team—the very essence of hospice care.
