Member leadership teams are invited to attend NPHI's signature leadership conference in Washington, D.C.

Here’s What You’ll Gain from Your Time at NPHI’s Flagship D.C. Event!

Whether you’re a CEO, COO, Chief Clinical Officer, Medical Director, or involved in policy, regulatory affairs, strategy, operations, quality, compliance, or business development, all member leaders are welcome.

We invite you to join fellow nonprofit hospice and advanced illness care leaders in Washington, D.C. for NPHI’s fall leadership and advocacy event.

Over two days, attendees will gain timely insights from healthcare leaders, policymakers, regulators, and CMS leaders, while engaging in meaningful discussions about the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of nonprofit hospice and advanced illness care.

A highlight of the conference is our dedicated Capitol Hill advocacy day, where attendees will meet directly with their congressional offices to elevate the voice of nonprofit providers and advocate for policies that support high-quality, mission-driven care for patients and families.
